Purpose of the Performance Audit –
The Level I Retail Food Performance Audit is designed to ensure that State, Local and Tribal Food Safety Inspection Officers (FSIO) have the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate their ability to apply the competencies required during an actual inspection. The audit mechanism provides each candidate an opportunity to demonstrate his or her expertise by successfully conducting a thorough and comprehensive audit. As part of ORA U’s voluntary Retail Food Level I Curriculum, the performance audit “tool” may be used by those jurisdictions choosing to use this field process to assess an individual’s newly acquired knowledge, skills and abilities.
