Food Safety Facility Audit - Peripheral Areas

This food safety facility audit checklist focuses on peripheral areas in and around food processing sites. It guides teams through inspections of facility structure, lighting, drainage, doors, and utilities; temperature and environmental controls including pest management and cooler/freezer monitoring; sanitation practices such as tool storage, cleaning schedules, waste handling, and restroom hygiene; production equipment design and maintenance for effective cleaning and food-grade compliance; and product and process controls including receiving checks, labeling, storage, FIFO rotation, allergen segregation, and contamination prevention. Use it to uphold GMP, reduce risk, and maintain regulatory compliance.
