MINOR VIOLATIONS

Minor violations do not directly cause foodborne illness, but are important factors in providing safe, wholesome and unadulterated food products. A minor violation does not pose an imminent health hazard, but if not corrected could possibly lead to an imminent health hazard.

Examples of minor violations include a potentially hazardous food held at or between 130°F to 134°F or 42°F to 50°F.
