BOH Food Hygiene Protocols Checklist

This back-of-house food hygiene checklist helps restaurant teams uphold safe food handling and sanitation standards. It covers personal hygiene expectations (handwashing, PPE, clean uniforms), proper food storage (separation of raw and ready-to-eat items, FIFO, temperature control), safe preparation practices to prevent cross-contamination, and correct thawing methods. The template also details cleaning and sanitizing frequencies, approved chemicals and procedures, waste segregation and removal, pest prevention and monitoring, and ongoing staff training including allergen management. Use it to standardize BOH operations and maintain compliance with food safety best practices.
