Priority items: Violations that pose direct risks related to foodborne illness prevention, such as failing to discard contaminated or spoiled food.
Priority foundation items: Issues requiring management action, equipment, or procedures that reduce potential health hazards, such as proper labeling, temperature monitoring, or record-keeping.
