HACCP Audit Pillars Restaurant

Summary

This study was to   audit the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) procedures in Pillars restaurant. The investigation was done on the 18th of November. Main findings indicate that Pillars kitchen does practice HACCP procedures that insure food safety. However at delivery of goods and storage there were no records of temperature checks of the fridges nor was there any records available of probing at delivery. Furthermore some of the food prepared in pillars restaurant is prepared by other training classes, these are sometimes first years that just started and lack experience and in some cases even have not obtained their food safety certificates.
The recommendations are that more care should be taken when receiving goods and all temperatures should be checked. In addition more accurate temperature checks are required in the stores.
