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.

FOOD IN GOOD CONDITION, SAFE AND UNADULTERATED

Examples of minor violations include failure to inspect food upon receipt or major dents on the rim or seams of cans.
