As to the broader issue, unless you are certain that there was no citation or other record, the better practice is to tell the truth and explain at the interview. It is the kiss of death to lie, even if the underlying violation was of no consequence.

So, answer the questions truthfully and, at the interview, answer a question such as "do you have any violations" with "I am not certain. Let me tell you about the apples."
