What should be done first when receiving a delivery for temperature-sensitive products?

Recording the temperature first when receiving a delivery for temperature-sensitive products is crucial because it directly relates to food safety and quality control. Temperature-sensitive items, such as perishable food products, can spoil or become unsafe if not maintained at the appropriate temperatures during transit and upon arrival.

By measuring and documenting the temperature immediately, you ensure that the product has been stored and transported correctly prior to being accepted into inventory. If the temperature is outside the safe range when you receive the delivery, it may indicate that the product is no longer safe for consumption and should not be accepted.

After the temperature check, other important steps like checking the quality, inspecting for damage, and verifying the delivery address can be performed. However, addressing temperature first protects the integrity of the products and ensures compliance with health standards.
