A daily cooking temperature log for US restaurant kitchens, aligned with FDA Food Code minimum internal temperature requirements. Record core temperatures in °F for each protein batch — poultry at 165°F, ground meats at 155°F, whole cuts and seafood at 145°F — with time, pass/fail status, and corrective actions.
