Food Safety Audit Checklist

This professional food safety audit checklist helps food facilities maintain HACCP compliance and ensure safe food handling practices. The form covers critical control points including personal hygiene, temperature monitoring, storage conditions, cross-contamination prevention, and cleaning procedures. With built-in scoring and conditional follow-up questions for non-compliant areas, auditors can quickly identify issues and track corrective actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HACCP and why is it important?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) is a systematic approach to food safety that identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards. It's legally required in many jurisdictions and helps prevent foodborne illness by focusing on prevention rather than finished product testing.

How often should food safety audits be conducted?

Internal audits should be conducted at least monthly, with more frequent daily or weekly checks for critical areas like temperature monitoring. External audits are typically annual, but frequency may depend on local regulations and risk assessment.

What areas does this checklist cover?

The checklist covers five main areas: Personal Hygiene & Staff Practices, Temperature Control & Monitoring, Food Storage & Handling, Cleaning & Sanitation, and Equipment & Facilities. Each section has multiple checkpoints rated for compliance.

How is the compliance score calculated?

The compliance score is calculated as a percentage of passed checkpoints versus total applicable checkpoints. Items marked as 'N/A' are excluded from the calculation. A score of 90% or above typically indicates good compliance.

What happens when a checkpoint fails?

When a checkpoint is marked as non-compliant, the form reveals a corrective action field where you must describe the issue and planned remediation. Critical failures may require immediate action before the audit can be completed.
