Pervidi digital FDA Food Establishment Inspection Report, with each line item marked in compliance, out, or corrected on site

Built for the FDA food establishment inspection process

Pervidi is configured around the Food Establishment Inspection Report that health departments use every day. Inspectors mark each item as in compliance, out, not applicable, or not observed, flag items corrected on site and repeat violations, and score foodborne-illness risk factors, public-health interventions, and good retail practices.

Every finding is captured once, in the field, and becomes the official report - complete with violations, correction deadlines, signatures, and a full history for each establishment in your jurisdiction.

End-to-End Workflow

From field inspection to issued report

Pervidi connects every stage of a food establishment inspection - so a single visit produces the official report, the violations, and the follow-up schedule.

01

Inspect on site

Complete the Food Establishment Inspection Report on a tablet or phone, online or offline - capturing item results, temperatures, photos, notes, and signatures at the point of inspection.

02

Standardize to the FDA Food Code

Use a state-approved electronic form so every inspector applies the same items, risk factors, and good retail practices - consistently, across your whole program.

03

Flag violations and corrections

Record out-of-compliance items, mark corrected on site and repeat violations, note the correction deadline for each, and schedule the reinspection automatically.

04

Issue the report and track history

Generate the official report as a PDF for the establishment, then keep the full inspection history, repeat violations, and trends across your jurisdiction.

Configured for Your Program

Every type of food inspection, one platform

Pervidi supports the full range of food establishment inspections a health department carries out.

Routine inspections

Scheduled inspections that confirm ongoing compliance with the food code.

Reinspections and follow-ups

Verify that violations from a prior visit have been corrected by the deadline.

Complaint-based inspections

Respond to a public complaint or a suspected foodborne-illness report.

Pre-operational inspections

Approve a new or remodeled establishment before it opens for business.

HACCP and hazard analysis

Review hazard controls and HACCP plans for higher-risk processes.

Temporary and mobile events

Inspect temporary, mobile, and event food operations in the field.

Connected Inspection Program

Move beyond paper inspection forms

Handwriting reports on site and re-keying them later loses time and buries repeat violations. Pervidi keeps every finding connected from the inspection through to a verified correction.

Violation lifecycle

Every violation stays visible from the inspection to the correction deadline, reinspection, and permanent record.

Approved & Compliant

A state-approved electronic inspection form

Recognized by a state health authority

Reviewed and approved as substantially equivalent to the state's prescribed form

Pervidi's electronic Food Establishment Inspection Report has been reviewed and approved by a state health department as substantially equivalent to the state's prescribed inspection form. For a health department, that means you can adopt an electronic form that has already cleared a state approval process - and put it in inspectors' hands with confidence.

State-approved

Accepted as substantially equivalent to the prescribed inspection form.

Built to the FDA Food Code

Items, risk factors, and good retail practices follow the model code states adopt.

Audit-ready records

Every inspection is stored with signatures, timestamps, and a full history.

Common Questions

Food inspection software: frequently asked questions

Does Pervidi produce the official FDA food establishment inspection report?

Yes. Pervidi digitizes the Food Establishment Inspection Report that health departments use. Inspectors mark each item in, out, N/A, or N/O, flag corrected-on-site and repeat violations, add photos and notes, and generate the finished report as a PDF to share or print for the establishment at the end of the visit.

Is the electronic form approved for use?

Yes. Pervidi's electronic food establishment inspection form has been reviewed and approved by a state health department as substantially equivalent to the state's prescribed form, and it is built to the FDA Food Code that states adopt.

Does it work offline in the field?

Yes. Pervidi is offline-first. Inspectors can complete inspections, capture photos, and record results with no network connection; everything syncs automatically to the office once a connection is restored. That keeps inspectors working in coolers, basements, and areas with poor coverage.

Can inspectors track reinspections and repeat violations?

Yes. Pervidi records a correction deadline for each violation, schedules the reinspection, and flags repeat (R) items automatically. Every establishment keeps a full inspection history, so recurring problems are visible across the jurisdiction.

Can we configure it to our jurisdiction's form and rules?

Yes. Pervidi includes a no-code template builder, so the form, items, risk factors, good retail practices, scoring, and correction timelines can be configured to match your state and local requirements rather than forcing your program onto a fixed template.

Who uses Pervidi for food inspections?

Municipal and state health departments and environmental health and food protection programs that conduct food establishment inspections. Pervidi is built for the inspectors doing the work and the supervisors managing the program.
