What does Florida violation V16 (Proper cooking temps) mean?

PATHOGEN SURVIVAL: Undercooking is a leading cause of foodborne illness. Salmonella in poultry survives below 165°F — causes 1.35 million US infections annually. E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef survives below 155°F — causes bloody diarrhea and kidney failure. Trichinella in pork survives below 145°F. Proper cooking is the critical kill step that destroys these pathogens. Cook to minimum internal temperatures: Poultry/stuffing/reheated foods: 165°F for 15 seconds. Ground meats: 155°F for 15 seconds. Pork/beef/fish/eggs (immediate service): 145°F for 15 seconds. Whole roasts: 145°F for 4 minutes. Verify with calibrated probe thermometer in thickest part. Microwave cooking: 165°F, rotate, stand 2 minutes.

What does Florida violation V38 (Waste properly disposed) mean?

PEST ATTRACTION: Improper waste disposal attracts rats, mice, cockroaches, and flies — all disease vectors. Overflowing garbage creates direct food contamination risk. Waste containers without lids allow pests to feed and breed. Grease disposal violations create breeding grounds for flies that carry 100+ pathogens. Improper recycling can create harborage conditions. Dispose of all waste properly: use leak-proof, pest-proof containers with tight-fitting lids. Empty frequently to prevent overflow. Clean containers and surrounding areas regularly. Maintain dumpster area — clean up spills, keep lids closed. Separate recyclables. Dispose of grease through approved hauler. Store waste away from food preparation areas.
