What does Florida violation V22 (Consumer advisory) mean?

INFORMED CHOICE: Without consumer advisory, customers with compromised immune systems, elderly, pregnant women, and young children cannot make informed decisions about consuming raw or undercooked foods. Raw oysters carry Vibrio vulnificus (50% fatality in at-risk groups). Undercooked eggs carry Salmonella Enteritidis. Raw fish may contain Anisakis parasites. Provide written consumer advisory with: disclosure identifying menu items containing raw or undercooked animal foods (eggs, meat, fish, shellfish), and a reminder statement about increased risk of foodborne illness. Must be on menu, placard, or other conspicuous written format. Covers items like rare burgers, sushi, sunny-side-up eggs, raw oysters.

What does Florida violation V25 (Allergen awareness) mean?

ALLERGIC REACTIONS: Food allergies affect 32 million Americans. Allergic reactions cause 30,000 emergency room visits and 150-200 deaths annually in the US. Major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame) can cause anaphylaxis within minutes of exposure. Cross-contact with trace amounts can be fatal. Demonstrate allergen awareness: identify the major food allergens, prevent cross-contact during storage and preparation, accurately communicate ingredient information to customers, train all food handlers on allergen management. Use separate equipment for allergen-free preparation. Clean and sanitize surfaces between allergen and non-allergen food preparation.
