Inspection Details

Document when the ice machine sanitation audit was performed.
Record the facility, unit, room, and ice machine identifier.
Record the person completing the inspection and their role.
Confirm the current sanitation procedure or log was available for reference.
Verify prior sanitation issues were corrected and documented.

Exterior Condition and Accessibility

Check the outside panels, dispenser area, and touch points for dust, residue, or spills.
Ensure the unit is positioned so staff can clean, inspect, and service it without obstruction.
Verify seals close properly and show no cracks, mold growth, or damage that could affect sanitation.
Inspect around and beneath the machine for leaks, pooling water, or abnormal moisture.
Confirm surrounding equipment does not create contamination risk or impede safe access. Follow facility safety rules and OSHA 1910 general industry requirements as applicable.

Filter and Scale Control

Confirm the filter is present, properly seated, and not visibly damaged.
Verify the filter has not exceeded the replacement interval or service indicator threshold per manufacturer guidance.
Inspect evaporator plates, spray nozzles, and other water-contact surfaces for mineral scale.
Confirm scale removal was completed according to the facility schedule and manufacturer instructions.
Check the inlet area, housing, and adjacent components for residue, discoloration, or biofilm-like buildup.

Bin and Interior Sanitation

Inspect the bin interior for dirt, foreign material, or accumulated ice fragments.
Check bin walls, chute, auger area, and internal surfaces for microbial growth indicators.
Verify the unit was cleaned and sanitized using approved chemicals and contact times per facility SOP and FDA Food Code-aligned guidance.
Confirm the scoop is clean, stored off the floor, and protected from contamination.
Verify the lid or cover closes securely to protect stored ice from contamination.

Hygiene Controls and Documentation

Confirm the log shows cleaning, sanitizing, and descaling completed on schedule.
Verify only approved products are used and containers are labeled per facility chemical safety procedures.
Observe whether personnel handling ice or cleaning the machine follow required hand hygiene and PPE practices.
Record any non-conformances, immediate containment steps, and follow-up assignments.
