Food factory hygiene zoning map template

A hygiene zoning map shows where raw and cooked food are kept apart and how people and product cross between zones. This example shades a ready-meal factory by zone, from goods in and raw prep through barrier ovens to high-risk cooling, assembly and packing, with a step-over changing room, the physical barrier, a packaging hatch, one-way product flow and the clothing, air and cleaning rules for each zone.

This is a planning example, not food-safety advice or a HACCP plan. Follow your local food-safety law and an approved HACCP plan.
