As a food business operator, it is your responsibility to take reasonable steps to minimize any risk associated with food safety violations, such as recalling any affected products from the market and notifying your regulatory authority. You must also maintain written records on the action taken for rectifying violations, including corrective measures implemented. Furthermore, based on the nature and severity of the violations identified by authorities during inspections, you may be legally obligated to pay administrative monetary penalties or even face criminal charges if it's found that you have knowingly committed a violation or have not taken adequate corrective action in response.

The legal responsibility of implementing food safety violations depends on the severity of the violation. Generally, minor violations must be corrected during food service and all vi­olation must be reported in writing within 24 hours. Major or repeat viol­ations may result in fines, emergency suspension of the permit, or revocation of the permit. It is important to ensure that employees are adequately trained in food safety practices and that an effective hygiene training program is implemented. Additionally, periodic inspections by a licensed environmental health specialist should be conducted.
