Organising kitchen records for an EHO inspection
Good organisation helps a manager find the records their business keeps and explain how the team reviews follow-up. It cannot predict or guarantee an inspection outcome.

Make an inventory of the checks, readings, training, cleaning or other records your own procedures require. Avoid assuming one list fits every operation.
Keep dates and context together
Use consistent names, dates and notes so staff and managers can understand what an entry refers to and how an issue was handled.
Review gaps before they become hard to explain
A regular internal review can help identify missing or unclear entries while the people involved can still provide context. Record corrections transparently.
Use authoritative guidance
Requirements and advice can vary by business and circumstance. Consult the relevant local authority or qualified adviser; ALAMINUTE is not an EHO-approved system.
