We have also labeled violations as high, moderate, or low priority. These categories align directly with priority levels identified in the FDA Food Code: Priority, Priority Foundation, and Core.<\/p>\n<p>Priority items contribute directly to the elimination, prevention, or reduction to an acceptable level of hazards associated with foodborne illness or injury, such as handwashing, food handling, and temperature control, or other direct food contamination threats, such as rodents or pests. We noted violations of priority items as high priority.<\/p>\n<p>Priority foundation items support, facilitate, or enable control of risk factors that contribute to foodborne illness or injury, such as personnel training, labeling, and record-keeping. We noted violations of priority foundation items as moderate priority.<\/p>\n<p>Core items usually relate to standard operating procedures, facility structures, equipment design, or general maintenance. We noted violations of core items as low priority.<\/p>\n<p>To read the full inspection reports, you can visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pafoodsafety.pa.gov\/web\/inspection\/publicinspectionsearch.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pafoodsafety.pa.gov\/web\/inspection\/publicinspectionsearch.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The state inspected the following food establishments in Berks County.
