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.

What does Florida violation V53 (Outer openings protected) mean?

PEST ENTRY: Unprotected outer openings (doors, windows, vents) allow entry of flies, rodents, birds, and other pests. A single open door can admit hundreds of flies in minutes — each carrying 100+ pathogens. Gaps around doors allow mice (1/4 inch) and rats (1/2 inch) to enter. Birds nest in rafters, contaminating food with droppings carrying Salmonella and Histoplasma. Protect all outer openings: install self-closing doors, tight-fitting screens on windows and vents, air curtains at frequently used entrances, door sweeps on exterior doors. Seal gaps around pipes and utility penetrations. Keep doors closed when not in active use. Maintain screens in good repair — no holes or tears.
