This comprehensive kitchen sanitation and hazard control checklist helps teams maintain food safety and compliance across the entire operation. It covers receiving, storerooms, walk-in refrigerators and freezers, prep and reach-in units, temperature logs, and equipment housekeeping. It details cleaning and maintenance for cooking appliances, ice machines, sinks, warmers, and dishwashing areas, plus proper chemical storage and MSDS access. The checklist also includes cafeteria service standards, tray carts, waste management, and employee hygiene practices such as handwashing, hair restraints, and glove use to minimize cross-contamination.
