Food safety documents: what to organise before an inspection
Which certificates, contracts, pest-control records and supporting documents UK food businesses should organise before an EHO inspection.
Organise supporting evidence
Keep pest-control reports, servicing records, training evidence, supplier information and relevant certificates associated with the correct business or store.
Track expiry and review dates
A document list should make upcoming expiries and missing evidence visible before inspection preparation begins.
Make retrieval predictable
Use consistent categories and naming so a manager can find the evidence requested by an officer without searching through unrelated files.
