Scheduled inspection template for recording seafood ice bed and display case temperatures, documenting deviations, and capturing corrective actions to support food safety compliance.

Inspection Details

• Inspection date and time recorded
• Store / department identified
• Inspector name and role
• Inspection frequency followed per SOP

Seafood Ice Bed Temperature

• Seafood ice bed temperature within acceptable range
  Record the measured temperature of the ice bed or product surface as applicable.
• Ice coverage adequate around seafood product
  Seafood is fully supported by ice with no exposed product due to melted or insufficient ice.
• Standing water or meltwater removed from display
  No excessive standing water that could indicate poor temperature control or sanitation concerns.
• Seafood product temperature checked

• Product rotated or replenished as needed
  Confirm older product was rotated and ice replenished when needed to maintain safe holding conditions.

Display Case Condition

• Display case holding temperature within acceptable range
  Record the ambient or case temperature where seafood is displayed.
• Thermometer or monitoring device present and readable
  Verify the display case thermometer or digital monitor is visible and functioning.
• Case doors, lids, or barriers close properly
  Confirm the display case enclosure closes and seals as intended to maintain temperature.
• No visible signs of equipment malfunction
  Check for abnormal noise, icing, condensation, or other signs of refrigeration issues.
• Case cleaned and free of debris
  Display surfaces, drains, and surrounding areas are clean and sanitary.
