Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Audit Checklist
by Christine Blackledge, from the Community
This Good Agricultural Practices GAP audit checklist helps producers evaluate compliance with food safety standards across the supply chain. It covers farm review, water quality, sewage, animal and wildlife controls, manure and biosolids management, and traceability. Field harvesting, sanitation, and transportation practices are assessed, along with packing house hygiene, pest control, and housekeeping. Storage and distribution controls, temperature monitoring, and shipping procedures are included. The checklist also addresses preventive food defense measures, worker training, and documentation to support recalls and continuous improvement.
