If deficiencies are observed during these monitoring/routine inspections, they are recorded in an inspection report which is provided to the operator. Such deficiencies are typically classified as either critical, posing a direct or immediate threat to the safety of the food being served, or non-critical, representing a failure of cleaning or maintenance. Ideally, an operation would have no critical or non-critical violations.
