SELLER FOOD-SAFETY WORKSPACE

Inspect every order.
Then hand it to the driver.

Mandatory platform policy

The seller must personally inspect every order immediately before releasing it to the assigned driver. Check every item, its cooking record, present holding temperature, ingredients/allergens, packaging and order/driver match. No unchecked order may leave the kitchen. A failed check means HOLD — do not release; correct the problem and reinspect, or discard unsafe food.

The form below is a local inspection log, not a live dispatch approval. It cannot verify thermometer readings, enforce real driver handoff, or guarantee food safety.

Minimum internal cooking temperatures

Use a calibrated food thermometer in the thickest part, away from bone. Check multiple places and portions. Clean and sanitize the probe between uses. Color, smell, juices, photos and livestreams cannot establish safe cooking temperatures.

Food and preparationMinimum internal temperatureRest after cooking
Beef steaks, roasts and chops145°F / 63°CAt least 3 minutes
Lamb steaks, roasts and chops145°F / 63°CAt least 3 minutes
Goat steaks, roasts and chops145°F / 63°CAt least 3 minutes
Ground beef, lamb or goat; their sausages160°F / 71°CNo additional rest specified
All poultry, including ground poultry and stuffing inside poultry165°F / 74°CNo additional rest specified

Casseroles and reheated leftovers165°F / 74°CNo additional rest specified

Based on FoodSafety.gov’s minimum internal temperature chart, checked October 26, 2026. These are baseline cooking targets, not a complete commercial food code. Follow applicable local time/temperature, cooling and permit requirements; use stricter requirements where applicable. Specialty processes and foods not covered here require a validated, locally compliant procedure.

Cooking temperature is not holding temperature

For Mommas Menu handoff, hold hot food at 140°F / 60°C or hotter and cold food at 40°F / 4.4°C or colder. Use separate insulated carriers for hot and cold items. Record both cooking and handoff readings; a hot-holding reading does not prove the food was cooked safely.

Discard perishables left without safe temperature control for more than two hours, or one hour above 90°F / 32°C. If the time history is unknown, do not release the food. Reheating does not automatically make mishandled food safe. Proper cooling procedures still apply to chilled cooked foods.

Holding and time limits: USDA danger-zone guidance. These platform holding limits are deliberately distinct from local commercial-code thresholds.

Pre-driver inspection log

Saved on this browser only. Avoid customer names, addresses or medical information. Use an order reference and driver reference. Record every food component; this guide’s automatic temperature check covers only the listed categories. For other foods, use the applicable validated procedure and record the review outside this demo.
