This food safety and hygiene inspection checklist helps teams assess compliance across the full food operation. It covers supplier use and delivery checks, chilled and frozen storage, stock rotation, and refrigeration practices. Sections guide sanitization, safe food preparation, defrosting, pre-cooking, reheating, and temperature control with probe use and record keeping. It includes food service hygiene, protective display, and glass breakage procedures. Personal hygiene standards span clothing, handwashing, illness reporting, and wounds. The checklist also verifies pest control, sample retention, staff training, cleaning schedules and standards, equipment maintenance, waste management, and facility fabric and structure, aligning daily practice with regulations and best practice.
