HACCP and Food Safety Audit
Outlets commence their audit with zero penalty points.
Whenever an element of the audit is not up to business standards penalty points are added.
The penalty points range for 2 to 8 points depending on the level of risk associated with the audit element (for example temperature control has a higher risk if not maintained, thus the maximum penalty is 8 points)
and will be added according to the level of non compliance 2, 4 or 8 points. Some elements with a lower risk factor have a maximum of 2 or 4 penalty points.
THE LOWER THE PERCENTAGE , THE BETTER THE AUDIT RESULT.
