What officers usually ask to see

Local authorities run the visit. There is no single national script. In an SFBB kitchen the records conversation is usually the diary: opening and closing checks, temps, deliveries, manager sign-off, and the 4-weekly review for the dates they care about. What an EHO checks is the longer guide.

Why the pack fails at 11pm

Paper is legal. It collapses when opening checks, temps, and deliveries are written up from memory at close, left in the office, or cannot be read. The checklist makes that gap visible before someone in a hi-vis asks for Thursday.

Digital records on the day

Inspectors need records that are complete, dated, and accessible. Timestamped logs with a name on the line are often easier to review than a pack filled in at close. No software is EHO approved. Read will an EHO accept digital food safety records.

FAQ

Questions about this checklist

What is on the EHO walk-in checklist?
The records an officer typically asks for in an SFBB kitchen: opening and closing checks, fridge, freezer, cooking and hot-holding temperatures, deliveries, manager sign-off, and the 4-weekly review. You tick whether each is in the pack, dated, named, and findable in 60 seconds.
Will this make us pass an inspection?
No. Records help you show due diligence under the Food Safety Act 1990 section 21. They are not a guarantee. Officers still look at how food is handled. We do not claim EHO approval, FSA endorsement, or Primary Authority status.
Do I have to give my email?
Yes to have the link sent to you. The sheet is on the next page either way so you can print it immediately. 14-day Food Safety trial, no card, then £5/week incl VAT for this kitchen.
