food safety check

Restaurant health inspection

A food safety check is an inspection to verify that food is safe for consumption—examining temperature, freshness, contamination risks, and handling practices.

Restaurants undergo regular food safety checks from health departments.

Home cooks perform informal versions: Give that chicken a food safety check before you serve it.
