US GMP Inspection Checklist for Distribution Centers
by Troy Cummins, from the Community
This US GMP inspection checklist supports food safety in distribution centers and warehouses. It guides teams through receiving and vehicle inspections, storage practices with required clearances, FIFO or FEFO rotation, pallet hygiene, and segregation of rework. It covers allergen control and cross contamination prevention, finished product transportation and traceability, and personnel hygiene including handwashing and locker room standards. Facility maintenance sections address floors, drains, walls, ceilings, lighting, glass and brittle plastics, ventilation, and structural integrity. The checklist includes detailed cleaning and sanitation schedules, integrated pest management with monitoring and documentation, and programs for food defense, customer complaints, nonconforming product, release procedures, and recall. It aligns with FDA expectations for safe handling, storage, and distribution of finished food products.
