Food Safety Inspection Checklist Template
by Susanna Veljanoski, from the Community
This food safety inspection checklist helps restaurants and commercial kitchens verify compliance with standards across opening, mid shift, and closing checks. Cover critical controls like cold and hot holding temperatures, raw and ready to eat storage, cleaning and sanitizing, handwashing, pest control, equipment maintenance, staff health, and waste disposal. Use it to document findings, record corrective actions, and maintain a safe kitchen that protects guests and staff from cross contamination and foodborne illness.
