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.

VERMIN: NO RODENTS, INSECTS, BIRDS OR ANIMALS

Examples of minor violations include non-disease carrying insects present in the facility, the presence of active infestation by rodents or disease carrying vectors in a non preparation area; non-service animals allowed in a food facility
