Food Establishment Sanitation Inspection: Fill & Download for Free

Sanitation, inspection, exclusion and control products ALL COUPLED WITH MANAGEMENT FOLLOW UP. The facility must be squeaky clean: surfaces wiped down, floors cleaned including under machines (stoves, fridges,etc.) trash securely contained in bags and dumpsters not overflowing…and so forth. Use a LED flashlight and look in all the dark spots for roach activity - inside cabinets, behind stoves and fridges, bathroom vanity cabinets - be thorough. Use caulk to seal all small and tiny openings throughout the kitchen, bathrooms and dining areas. Control products for German roaches are applied in the above mentioned dark areas NOT on baseboards. Managers get off your fannies and follow up on all of this or it will not happen.

One only needs to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair (1906) to get a glimpse of how many positive changes the food industry has made in the last century. The biggest differences are not in the equipment but the handling of the food itself. The Jungle directly led to the creation of Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906, which made adulteration and/or misbranding of meat or meat products a federal crime as well as enforcing sanitation during slaughtering and processing. Also in 1906, Congress passed the Federal Food and Drugs Act of 1906, also known as the Pure Food and Drug Act or the Wiley Act. It was the first significant series of consumer protection laws in that it banned interstate and foreign trafficking of adulterated or misbranded food and drugs. It also established sanitation criteria for the food and drug industries as well as labeling requirements and purity standards for pharmaceuticals. Then in 1938, Congress passed the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). This gave authority to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to oversee the safety of food, drugs, and cosmetics by setting definitions and standards for all food, drugs, and cosmetics. The FD&C Act has been amended many times in order to keep legislation relevant and up to date on changes in the industry. In 2011, President Obama signed into law the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). It is widely considered the first major piece of federal legislation to address the food industry since FD&C Act of 1938. FSMA expanded the FDA’s authority to regulate the ways food is grown, harvested, and processed. This legislation was initiated as response to the numerous outbreaks of food born illness in the late 90s early 2000s. It also directly addresses intentional adulteration, bioterrorism, and food defense. In addition to these major pieces of legislation, the food industry has continued to adopt programs and systems that call food manufacturing facilities to even higher standards: Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Safe Quality Food, BRC Global Standards, and Global Food Safety Initiative to name a few.TL;DR: I'm not sure when this magical time of food purity was because just over a hundred years ago manufactures did not have to adhere to any food safety or sanitation standards. No one was monitoring food for adulteration, misbranding, chemical, physical, and/or microbiological hazards let alone purity. Food is safer now than ever before.
