Points
Earned A. Food Items Received and Stored Properly Maximum score of 18 points Problems Identified
Standard Storage shelves, racks are clean, free of grime, soil build up; sanitized routinely
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 7-5)
Criteria Keep all storage areas clean and dry. Clean floors, walls, and shelving in coolers, freezers, dry-storage areas, and heated holding cabinets regularly. Clean up spills and leaks promptly.
Standard Raw meats are stored separately or below ready to eat or cooked foods
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 7-5)
Criteria Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood separate from ready-to-eat food. Store ready-to-eat food above raw meats. Store in the following top-to-bottom order: seafood, whole cuts of beef and pork, ground meat and ground fish, whole and ground poultry: the order is based on the minimum internal cooking temperature. Make sure there are no leaks.
Standard Accurate temperature thermometers are present and temperatures are taken
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 5-3, 5-8)
Criteria
Make sure thermometers are accurate by calibrating them regularly: before each shift and before the first delivery arrives. Thermometers used to measure the temperature of food need to be +/- 2˚F or +/- 1˚C. Thermometers used to measure air temperature in food storage equipment need to be accurate to +/- 3˚F or +/- 1.5˚C. Food handlers should avoid time-temperature abuse by following good policies and procedures. The ones you establish should cover the following areas: monitoring, correct working tools, and recordkeeping.
Standard Temperatures are appropriate for the storage area
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 7-4)
Criteria
Pathogens can grow when food is not stored at the correct temperature. Follow these guidelines to keep food safe:
• Store TCS food at an internal temperature of 41˚F (5˚C) or lower, or 135˚F (57˚C) or higher. Test often.
• Store meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy items in the coldest part of the unit, away from the door.
• Make sure storage units have at least one air-temperature measuring device it must be accurate to +/- 3˚F or +/- 1.5˚C, keep in the warmest part of refrigerated units and the coldest part of hot-holding units.
• Consider using cold curtains in walk-in coolers and freezers to help maintain temperatures.
• Defrost freezers regularly to ensure efficiency. Move food to another freezer while defrosting.
Standard Foods are inspected upon receipt per HACCP and receipt-dated
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 6-3)
Criteria
Visually inspect delivery trucks for signs of contamination. Then, look at each delivery right away to count quantities, check for damaged food, and look for items that might have been repacked or mishandled. Spot-check weights and take sample temperatures of all TCS food. Inspect and store each delivery before accepting another one. This will prevent temperature abuse in the receiving area.
Standard There is appropriate air circulation around food
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 7-4)
Criteria Do not overload coolers or freezers. Overload prevents good airflow and units have to work harder to stay cold. Use open shelving. Do not line shelves with aluminum foil, sheet pans, or paper. It restricts cold air circulation.
Standard FIFO system used; items dated with expiration/use by date or date of receipt
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 7-3)
Criteria
Rotation: First-in, First-out (FIFO)
Food items (refrigerated, frozen and dry foods) must be rotated so the items with the earliest use-by or expiration dates are used before those with later dates.
Labeling: Foods that are not in their original container need to be labeled with the common name of food.
Dating: Foods need to have either a label stating the date the food item was prepared or a use-by date.
Standard Foods are properly labeled with identity, use-by or expiration dates
Referance ServSafe® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 7-2, 7-3)
Criteria
Labeling food is important. Illnesses have occurred when unlabeled chemicals were mistaken for food. Allergic reactions can occur when food was unknowingly prepped with a food allergen that was not identified on the label. Any item not stored in its original container must be labeled by the common name or statement that clearly identifies it. If food item is easily identifiable by sight and will not be mistaken for another item, labeling is not required. Food packaged in the operation that is being sold to customers for use at home must be labeled with the following information: Common name of the food or a statement that clearly identifies it, quantity of the food, list of ingredients and sub-ingredients in descending order by weight if made with two or more ingredients, list of artificial colors, flavors, and chemicals preservatives, name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, and source of each major food allergen contained in the food.

Kitchen floors, walls, shelves, equipment exteriors, ceilings, light fixtures, drains, and restrooms are nonfood-contact surfaces, but they still require regular cleaning to prevent accumulation of dust, dirt, food reside, and other debris. Sanitizing these surfaces is not required, but is a good practice. How often these surfaces are cleaned will depend on several factors, including the type of food served, surfaces to be cleaned, and rate of ventilation in the kitchen. Spills should be cleaned up immediately. Floors and walls around food-preparation and cooking areas should be cleaned at least daily—before or after each shift is preferable. Other non-floor-contact surfaces may need to be cleaned less often.
Floors are a safety hazard if they are not cleaned regularly or rinsed properly. They can also be a source of cross-contamination since soil and spills can be tracked through the entire operation.
Clean tile and stainless-steel surfaces by spraying or sponging with a detergent solution. Use a nylon scrub brush to clean dried on soil or grease. Rinse with clean water.
Ceilings do not need to be cleaned as often as floors or walls. Check ceilings and light fixtures daily to ensure that cobwebs, dust, dirt, or condensation will not fall and contaminate food or food-contact surfaces below. Wipe and rinse ceilings and light fixtures with a sponge or cloth.

Standard Exhaust hood and filters are clean
Referance ServSafe ® Coursebook 6 th
ed. (pg. 11-17)
Criteria
Hood filters or grease extractors must be tight-fitting and easy to remove, and should be cleaned on a regular basis. Thorough cleaning of the hood and ductwork should also be done periodically by a professional company.
Since so much air is moved through exhaust hoods, clean air must be taken in to replace it. This replacement air is called make-up air, which must be replaced without creating drafts. All outside air intakes must be screened to keep pests out.
In many areas of the U.S., clean-air ordinances restrict the use of exhaust fans. Exhaust air containing food odors, smoke and grease might have to be purified by filters or other devices. It is the establishment’s responsibility to see that the ventilation system meets local regulations.
