Food Safety and Quality Control Checklist

This food safety and quality control checklist helps teams maintain high standards across food handling and preparation. It covers expiry and labeling checks, FIFO and secondary shelf life labeling, proper storage for frozen, chilled, and ambient items, and temperature controls for refrigerators, freezers, and prep equipment. It includes personal hygiene and uniform compliance, cleaning and sanitation of food contact surfaces, equipment readiness and maintenance, and correct chemical storage and labeling. The checklist also verifies pest control measures, waste disposal, facility cleanliness, customer area upkeep, exterior maintenance, and management requirements such as approved schedules, visible receipt stickers, valid employee cards, and branch licenses. Notes, photos, and signatures support documentation, with any expired items triggering an automatic fail.
