What does Florida violation V48 (Food storage) mean?

FOOD SAFETY RISK: Improperly stored food is vulnerable to contamination, temperature abuse, pest access, and cross-contamination. Unlabeled food cannot be date-tracked for safety. Food stored on floors is exposed to splash, pests, and cleaning chemicals. Improper FIFO rotation leads to expired food being served. Food stored near chemicals risks chemical contamination. Store all food: minimum 6 inches off floor, in food-grade containers with tight-fitting lids, properly labeled and dated, in appropriate temperature conditions. Follow FIFO rotation. Store raw meat below ready-to-eat food. Keep food away from chemicals, cleaning supplies, and personal items. Date-mark ready-to-eat TCS food — discard after 7 days.
