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 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 V13 (Parasite destruction) mean?

PARASITE SURVIVAL: Without proper freezing or cooking, parasites in fish (Anisakis, tapeworm), pork (Trichinella), and wild game survive to infect consumers. Anisakis larvae in raw sushi cause severe abdominal pain and allergic reactions. Tapeworm cysts in undercooked pork/beef grow into 15-30 foot worms in intestines. Proper freezing (-4°F for 7 days) kills parasites. Fish intended for raw consumption (sushi, sashimi, ceviche, tartare) must be frozen to -4°F for 7 days, or -31°F for 15 hours before service. Exception: tuna species and aquacultured fish fed processed feed. Pork and wild game must reach minimum internal cooking temperature. Document all freezing records.
