What is an imminent health hazard?

  2. A minor health violation

  3. A new health policy

  4. An improved health standard

The correct answer is: A threat or danger to health

An imminent health hazard refers to a significant threat or danger to health that requires immediate corrective action to prevent injury or illness. This can include factors such as contamination, chemical exposure, or improper temperature control that could lead to foodborne illness if not addressed promptly. It is crucial for food handlers to be able to identify and correct imminent health hazards to ensure the safety of the food being served. The other options are not relevant to the definition of an imminent health hazard.
