Operational support, not legal advice

FridgeProof is a software tool designed to support food safety record keeping and operational controls. It does not constitute legal advice, food safety certification, or regulatory approval of any kind.

Operator responsibility

Food business operators remain fully responsible for compliance with all applicable food law and guidance, including EU Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs, Irish food hygiene regulations, and guidance issued by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). FridgeProof does not transfer, reduce, or replace this responsibility.

HACCP plans

FridgeProof is designed to support the implementation of HACCP-based procedures as required by EU food hygiene law. However, it is the responsibility of the food business operator to develop, implement, and maintain a suitable HACCP plan for their specific business. FridgeProof records are not a substitute for a complete HACCP plan.

Not endorsed by FSAI

FridgeProof is not approved, endorsed, or certified by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) or any other regulatory body. The product is designed to be compatible with FSAI-style record-keeping practices but makes no claim of regulatory approval.

Paper records

Paper-based food safety records are a legally acceptable method of documenting HACCP compliance. FridgeProof is not intended to suggest that paper records are non-compliant. FridgeProof provides an alternative digital approach that may support more consistent record keeping, earlier detection of issues, and easier report generation.

Accuracy of records

FridgeProof records depend on the accuracy of information entered by users. The system calculates temperature status based on configured thresholds but cannot verify the accuracy of manually entered readings or the calibration status of equipment unless calibration records are maintained within the system.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FridgeProof and its operators accept no liability for any loss, damage, or regulatory consequence arising from reliance on FridgeProof records or the failure of the system to detect or alert on food safety issues.
