The Inspection Risk

A small gap becomes a serious compliance concern

FDA inspections can review multiple areas of your food operation at once. Equinox Labs helps you check these gaps before inspection — not after.

Hygiene & handler records

Food handler hygiene, medical fitness records, and FoSTaC training status are common inspection gaps.

💧

Water & testing gaps

Water quality, food microbiology, and used cooking oil testing are frequently out of date or missing.

📋

Documentation & traceability

FSMS/HACCP records, vendor documentation, and recall readiness are reviewed closely during inspection.

🏷

Packaging & labelling

Menu calorie declarations, allergen information, and food-contact packaging materials are easy to overlook.

Why Act Now

FDA compliance is not limited to having a license

Food businesses are expected to maintain hygiene, testing records, training records, water safety, food safety documentation, vendor records, packaging safety and traceability.

It is better to identify and correct compliance gaps before an inspection — not during one.

  • Penalties & financial fines
  • Inspection observations on record
  • Operational disruption
  • Product seizure
  • License-related action
  • Loss of customer trust
