What does Florida violation V13 (Parasite destruction) mean?

PARASITE SURVIVAL: Without proper freezing or cooking, parasites in fish (Anisakis, tapeworm), pork (Trichinella), and wild game survive to infect consumers. Anisakis larvae in raw sushi cause severe abdominal pain and allergic reactions. Tapeworm cysts in undercooked pork/beef grow into 15-30 foot worms in intestines. Proper freezing (-4°F for 7 days) kills parasites. Fish intended for raw consumption (sushi, sashimi, ceviche, tartare) must be frozen to -4°F for 7 days, or -31°F for 15 hours before service. Exception: tuna species and aquacultured fish fed processed feed. Pork and wild game must reach minimum internal cooking temperature. Document all freezing records.

What does Florida violation V50 (Adequate lighting) mean?

DETECTION FAILURE: Inadequate lighting prevents employees from identifying food contamination, insect presence, dirt on equipment, and other safety hazards. Studies show food safety violations increase 60% in poorly lit areas. Employees cannot see evidence of pest activity, mold growth, or food spoilage. Poor lighting also increases injury risk from cuts and burns. Provide adequate lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces and where employee safety is important, 20 foot-candles in handwashing areas, equipment and utensil storage, and at buffet service, 10 foot-candles in walk-in coolers, dry storage, and during cleaning. Use shatter-resistant bulbs or light shields in food areas.
