Hello,
In the state of New Jersey can you please tell me what the minimum
lunch time required by law is in New Jersey for both full & part time

Thanks

Unlike many states, New Jersey does not mandate a meal break, except
in the case of minors:

"Are breaks and lunches required by law? 

A. Mandatory break laws apply only to minors under the age of 18.
Company policy dictates break and lunch periods for anyone over the
age of 18. Minors under the age of 18 must be given a thirty (30)
minute meal period after five (5) consecutive hours of work. "

Here you can see the meal period requirements for adults in all
states. Note that New Jersey is mentioned only in a footnote regarding
meal provisions for minors:

I hope this information is useful. If anything is unclear, or if a
link doesn't work for you, please request clarification; I'll be glad
to offer further assistance before you rate my answer.

Best regards,
