Use this daily GMP check template to maintain food manufacturing standards on the factory floor. Verify hair and beard nets, clean uniforms, permitted jewelry, and no food or personal items in production. Confirm foreign object controls, metal-detectable tools, and functioning metal detectors. Check safe knife and packaging practices, absence of wood, glass, or rigid plastics, proper chemical labeling and storage, and no pest activity.

Production Daily Pre-Start Packing Checklist
This daily pre-start packing checklist supports food manufacturing teams in verifying readiness before production begins. It covers personal hygiene (hair and beard nets, handwashing, correct uniforms), housekeeping, pest control, and equipment maintenance. Product protection steps include functioning metal detectors, checkweighers, calibrated scales, and control of foreign objects with metal-detectable tools. It also checks knives, labeling and date coding, storage and labeling of containers and chemicals, correct handling of allergens, and proper storage of packaging and raw materials. Non-conforming product must be identified and isolated. A pass score threshold allows production to commence.

GMP Audit - Cooking Area Checklist
This GMP audit checklist is designed for cooking areas in food manufacturing. It helps teams verify PPE and hygiene practices (hair nets, clean uniforms, no jewelry), enforce no eating or mobile phone policies, and assess production area cleanliness, equipment condition (including undersides), and absence of condensation, pests, or damaged packaging. It covers metal-detectable tools, segregation of wooden items, WIP identification, clear exits, cross-contamination controls, and correct storage of chemicals and cleaning tools. It includes checks for soak tubs, waste handling, 5S, doors and signage, lighting integrity, bulk and liquid sugar systems, effective label residue removal, and a completed cleaning master schedule with records and corrective actions.
