It covers storage practices (elevation off the floor, FIFO, labeling, origin docs), temperature control and logs for fridges and freezers, pest control, lighting, and product integrity. In the kitchen it verifies cleaning schedules, equipment sanitation, grease trap and drain hygiene, proper use of disinfectants, and orderly storage. It also checks hygiene controls such as handwashing supplies, PPE, hair covering, and jewelry restrictions, plus sample retention and recordkeeping.
