Which form would you use for a standard food operation inspection?

• A. DD Form 1222
• B. DD Form 2973
• C. DD Form 2974
• D. DD Form 1224

Answer: (B)

A standard food operation inspection relies on a single, designated documentation form to record findings consistently. The form used for this purpose is DD Form 2973, because it’s specifically designed to capture all essential inspection details in a uniform way—establishment information, date, observed sanitation practices, any violations, and the corrective actions required. This consistency makes it easy to compare results across facilities and track progress over time. Other forms are used for different processes and tasks, not for recording routine sanitation inspections, so they wouldn’t provide the appropriate structure for a standard inspection.
