HACCP Monitoring Log & Corrective Action

Use this form to record routine monitoring of identified critical control points (CCPs). Capture who measured what, whether the result met the acceptable limit, any immediate corrective actions taken, root-cause notes, and verification by a supervisor. Examples: cooling charts (time and temperature steps), hot-holding checks, final cook temperatures, and receiving temperature checks.

Fill each field truthfully — if a measurement fails, take immediate corrective action, document it here, and mark the verification step when complete.

Enter the date of monitoring in ISO format (e.g. 2026-09-14).
Local 24-hour time when measurement was taken (e.g. 14:30).
Where the measurement was taken (kitchen line, walk-in cooler #1, prep table, delivery receiving, etc.).
Select the shift or service period.
Choose the CCP being monitored or choose Other and specify.
Describe the CCP if you selected Other.
How often this CCP is routinely monitored.
Describe the intended monitoring cadence.
Record the critical limit. Examples: >=165°F (74°C) poultry final cook, <=41°F (5°C) cold holding, hot holding >=135°F (57°C), cooling to 70°F in 2 hours and to 41°F in 4 hours.
Enter the numeric measurement (temperature, minutes, ppm, etc.). For non-numeric observations write a number proxy and explain in notes.
Unit for the measured value.
Describe the measurement unit if Other.
Name of employee who took the measurement.
How the measurement was taken (probe, calibrated thermometer, fridge display, visual check, test strip, etc.).
Describe the method or tool used.
Select Yes if the measured value meets the acceptable limit recorded above. Select No if it fails.
Check actions taken immediately to protect food safety. If Not OK, at least one action should be selected.
Describe any other immediate action taken.
Describe what was done, when, by whom, and the outcome (example: removed 3 pans, cooled by ice bath, recorded temperatures at 30-min intervals). Include disposal details if discarded.
What most likely caused the failure or near-miss? Options: procedural lapse, equipment failure, temperature abuse during receiving, poor cooling procedure, inaccurate thermometer, staffing/communication gap, supplier issue, or other.
How was the corrective action verified?
Describe other verification steps taken.
Name of supervisor or manager who verified the corrective action.
Date verification was completed.
Manager or responsible supervisor signature (typed name acceptable for record).
Select Yes if additional actions, training, equipment repair, supplier contact, or process change is needed.
Describe follow-up actions, who is responsible, and target completion date.
Add any context that helps understand the event (guest complaint, unusually busy service, recent equipment work, delivery issues, etc.).
