Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What does Florida violation V13 (Parasite destruction) mean?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What does Florida violation V38 (Waste properly disposed) mean?

Accepted Answer

PEST ATTRACTION: Improper waste disposal attracts rats, mice, cockroaches, and flies — all disease vectors. Overflowing garbage creates direct food contamination risk. Waste containers without lids allow pests to feed and breed. Grease disposal violations create breeding grounds for flies that carry 100+ pathogens. Improper recycling can create harborage conditions. Dispose of all waste properly: use leak-proof, pest-proof containers with tight-fitting lids. Empty frequently to prevent overflow. Clean containers and surrounding areas regularly. Maintain dumpster area — clean up spills, keep lids closed. Separate recyclables. Dispose of grease through approved hauler. Store waste away from food preparation areas.
