What does Florida violation V05 (Handwashing procedures) mean?

CONTAMINATION PATHWAY: Improper handwashing is the single most significant factor in spreading foodborne illness. Hands carry 3,200 bacteria per square centimeter. CDC reports proper handwashing reduces diarrheal illness by 30% and respiratory illness by 21%. Inadequate technique leaves Norovirus, E. coli, and Salmonella on hands, directly contaminating food. Employees must wash hands for minimum 20 seconds with soap and warm water: before handling food, after touching raw meat, after using restroom, after sneezing/coughing, after handling garbage, after touching face/hair, when switching tasks. Use proper technique: wet hands, apply soap, scrub 20 seconds including fingertips and between fingers, rinse, dry with single-use towel.

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.
