Food Safety Plan Checklist

This food safety plan checklist helps kitchens and cafes verify critical controls across cooking, heating, holding, and hygiene. It covers cold holding temperatures for sandwich displays and prep fridges, cleaning and sanitising of work surfaces and equipment, handwashing station readiness, floor safety and spill control, and operational procedures to prevent cross contamination. General food safety items include correct sanitizer concentration, calibrated thermometers and probe wipes, FIFO storage and date labelling, approved chemicals, and proper separation of chemicals from food and paper products. Facilities standards address clean drains, walls, vents, and trash areas, as well as backflow protection on threaded connections. Equipment and utensils maintenance, regular cleaning and sanitising of food contact surfaces, and employee hygiene requirements such as uniforms, hair restraint, and no jewellery are also included.
