How to create an EHO inspection pack from your records
When an EHO visits, handing over a complete records pack sets the tone. Here is how to pull your records into one report you can produce on the spot.
What an inspection pack should contain
- Temperature logs (fridge, freezer, hot-hold, cooking)
- Daily diary (opening and closing checks)
- Cleaning schedule and sign-offs
- Equipment and LPG safety checks
- Water and pitch records
How to produce it
- Choose the period you want to show (today, this week, this month, or all time).
- Export your records to a single PDF.
- Print it or save as PDF, and hand it to the inspector at the start of the visit.
Paper or digital?
Digital records are accepted and often preferred — they're time-stamped, legible and can't get wet or lost. The key is that they're accurate and available the moment an officer asks.

Can I keep food safety records digitally?
