Editor's note: The Arkansas Department of Health is changing how it labels violations. During this process, both newer and older terms may appear.
Violations marked as priority contribute directly to the elimination, prevention or reduction in the hazards associated with foodborne illness. Priority violations include prevention of contamination, cooking, reheating, cooling, and handwashing.
Priority foundation rules support, facilitate or enable one or more priority items.
Core violations include items that usually relate to general sanitation, operational controls, equipment design or general maintenance.
Critical violations are those factors leading to foodborne illness and must be corrected immediately.
Noncritical violations relate to maintenance of food operations and cleanliness.
