When answering this question, highlight your familiarity with various food safety standards and protocols, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point), ISO 22000, or local regulatory requirements. Discuss the specific methods you use, such as visual inspections, swab tests, temperature checks, and reviewing documentation. Provide examples of how you've successfully conducted audits and inspections in the past, emphasizing your attention to detail and ability to identify and mitigate risks. For instance, you might say:
"I use a combination of methods to conduct food safety audits and inspections. This includes visual inspections to check for cleanliness and proper food handling practices, swab tests to detect any microbial contamination, and temperature checks to ensure food is stored and cooked at safe temperatures. I also review documentation to ensure compliance with HACCP and other relevant standards. For example, in my previous role, I identified a potential contamination risk in the storage area and implemented corrective actions that significantly improved our safety record."
