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.
