In particular, described embodiments are directed to methods and systems of recording food temperature data through a software application executing on a handheld computing device. A particular embodiment relates to a method of facilitating measurement and recording of food temperature data which comprises making available for download to a handheld computing device a software application comprising executable program code. When executed by at least one processor of the handheld computing device, the executable code causes the handheld computing device to record in a memory of the handheld computing device food temperature data, wherein the food temperature data is based on a temperature sensed by a directional temperature sensor associated with the handheld computing device, and wherein the food temperature data indicates a temperature of a perishable food article； determine whether the recorded food temperature data is outside of a stored temperature limit for the perishable food article； and if the recorded food temperature data is determined to be outside of the stored temperature limit, generate and display on a display of the handheld computing device a notification to take corrective action in relation to the perishable food item.7/15 User prompted to enter log in details, and details are verified by server 0700 Yes User presented with a main menu and makes a selection 730 User Perform the functions sc quires a required by the selection No tempera scan? 745 No74 Yes User prompted to point sensor in direction of the object requiring the scan 750 Return to main menu of commences scan, application or exits from the 29o application?
