Which of the following statements about SSOP monitoring frequencies is/are true?

• A. Monitoring must be performed as frequently as is specified in the establishment's SSOP
• B. Monitoring must be performed at least daily
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

Monitoring frequencies are set by the SSOP itself and are meant to ensure sanitation actions are verified on the schedule you’ve approved. The first statement is true because you must perform monitoring as often as the SSOP specifies—you can’t skip or add frequencies outside what the plan requires. The second statement is true because, for routine sanitation, verification is generally required at least daily to confirm that conditions remain under control and procedures are being carried out consistently. Taken together, this means you follow the SSOP’s defined frequency and, for ongoing sanitation, that verification happens daily. That’s why both statements are correct.
