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.
