What does Florida violation V02 (Employee health policy) mean?

DISEASE TRANSMISSION: Without a written employee health policy, sick food workers transmit Norovirus (20 million US cases/year), Hepatitis A (causes liver failure), Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli O157:H7. CDC estimates 40% of restaurant outbreaks involve ill food workers. A single infected employee can contaminate food for thousands of customers. Maintain written employee health policy addressing: reporting of symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever), diagnosed illnesses (Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli), exclusion and restriction criteria, and return-to-work requirements. Train all employees on policy at hiring and annually.

What does Florida violation V08 (Proper hand/arm washing) mean?

TECHNIQUE FAILURE: Improper handwashing technique leaves pathogens on hands even when a handwashing attempt is made. Studies show 95% of people wash hands incorrectly — most don't scrub for 20 seconds or miss fingertips, thumbs, and between fingers. Incomplete washing creates a false sense of security while still transferring E. coli, Norovirus, and Salmonella to food. Correct technique requires: wet hands with clean warm water, apply soap, lather and scrub for 20+ seconds covering all surfaces including fingertips/nails/between fingers/back of hands, rinse thoroughly, dry with single-use towel. Use towel to turn off faucet. Do NOT use hand sanitizer as substitute for handwashing.

What does Florida violation V09 (No contamination) mean?

ADULTERATION HAZARD: Food contaminated by chemicals (sanitizers, cleaners, pesticides), physical hazards (glass, metal, bandages), or biological agents (bacteria, viruses, parasites) can cause acute poisoning, choking, injury, or severe foodborne illness. Chemical contamination can cause burns to mouth/throat. Foreign objects cause choking, broken teeth, and lacerations. Protect food from ALL contamination sources. Store chemicals below and away from food. Use food-grade containers only. Inspect food upon receipt and before preparation. Maintain clean equipment and work surfaces. Cover food during storage. Separate raw from ready-to-eat. Remove contaminated food immediately — do not serve.
