What form is used for the Navy Food Inspection Form (Food Operation Inspection Report) during unannounced inspections?

• A. DD Form 2973, Food Inspection Form (Food Operation Inspection Report)
• B. NAVMED 6240/1
• C. FDA Form 1
• D. OSHA Form 300

Answer: (A)

Documentation during unannounced Navy food inspections uses the DD Form 2973, Food Inspection Form (Food Operation Inspection Report). This is the standard Navy/DoD form designed to capture on-site findings for a food service sanitation inspection, including facility details, temperatures, hygiene practices, equipment and area conditions, and any corrective actions required. Using this form ensures consistent, traceable reporting and supports timely follow-up to meet Navy sanitation standards. Other forms serve different purposes: NAVMED 6240/1 is used for medical or health-related reporting in Navy settings, FDA Form 1 is for FDA facility registration and not for on-site Navy inspections, and OSHA Form 300 records workplace injuries and illnesses, not food operation sanitation.
