Published 3/23/2026 · 8 min read
AIB, SQF, YUM, DOH — the audit prep is the same. Here's what auditors actually look at.
The paperwork half
Complete service reports for the last 12 months. Product labels and SDS for every product used. Pesticide-use logs. Monitor map. Trend analysis. Corrective action records.
The facility half
Sealed floor-wall junction. Air curtains functional. Screens intact. Dock seals tight. Monitors numbered, mapped, and dust-free. No exposed food touching walls.
The half-day audit prep
Walk with your PMP the day before. Take photos. Correct anything you'd flag yourself. Auditors respect the effort.
