QA Product Inspection Checklist

by vaidoorya sathyan, from the Community

This QA Product Inspection template supports food production teams in verifying product quality and safety across the line. Checks include blast chiller timing logs and temperatures, monitoring for cross contamination during transfer to packing, and hygienic handling during packing. It guides verification of even product spread in pots, correct recipe, cook and batch numbers, and weights on the Vemag line. Inspectors confirm the correct sleeve is used and printed with batch number and best before date, assess products for foreign bodies, acceptable colour, texture and moisture, and review overall packaging integrity. Adapt the checklist to your site and processes.
