When should the Food Safety audit be completed?

The appropriate time to conduct the Food Safety audit is before 11:00 am and before 5:00 pm because this timing allows for the audit to take place during key operational hours when food handling and preparation are actively occurring. Conducting the audit at these times ensures that potential safety issues can be identified and addressed when the food is most likely being prepared and served, thus maximizing food safety.

This means that the audit occurs during the periods when staff are actively working with food items, which enhances the effectiveness of the audit. It allows for proper observations of processes and practices that could impact food safety. The chosen timeframe also aligns with the operational flow, providing a greater chance of catching any potential compliance issues that could arise during the peak hours of food preparation and service.
