Question 4

What does Florida violation V08 (Proper hand/arm washing) mean?

Accepted Answer

TECHNIQUE FAILURE: Improper handwashing technique leaves pathogens on hands even when a handwashing attempt is made. Studies show 95% of people wash hands incorrectly — most don't scrub for 20 seconds or miss fingertips, thumbs, and between fingers. Incomplete washing creates a false sense of security while still transferring E. coli, Norovirus, and Salmonella to food. Correct technique requires: wet hands with clean warm water, apply soap, lather and scrub for 20+ seconds covering all surfaces including fingertips/nails/between fingers/back of hands, rinse thoroughly, dry with single-use towel. Use towel to turn off faucet. Do NOT use hand sanitizer as substitute for handwashing.

Question 5

What does Florida violation V21 (Time as control) mean?

Accepted Answer

TIME ABUSE: When time is used as a public health control (instead of temperature), food is allowed to remain in the temperature danger zone for a limited period. Without proper written procedures, documentation, and disposal protocols, food may be served after unsafe time periods. Bacteria reach dangerous levels after 4 hours at room temperature — causing Staphylococcal intoxication, Salmonellosis, and C. perfringens illness. If using time as a control: develop written procedures, mark food with discard time (4 hours from removal, or 6 hours if starting at 41°F and not exceeding 70°F), monitor and document. Food must be discarded at marked time — no exceptions. Staff must be trained on procedures. Time as control is NOT appropriate for all foods.

Question 6

What does Florida violation V41 (Toilet facilities) mean?

Accepted Answer

HYGIENE INFRASTRUCTURE: Inadequate toilet facilities discourage proper restroom use and handwashing by employees. Lack of supplies (toilet paper, soap, towels) prevents proper hygiene. Non-functioning toilets force employees to delay bathroom breaks, increasing contamination risk. Self-closing doors prevent airborne contamination from reaching food areas. Provide adequate, clean toilet facilities: properly functioning toilets, toilet paper, self-closing doors, handwashing sink with hot/cold water, soap, paper towels. Maintain cleanliness throughout the day. Ensure facilities are accessible to employees at all times. Post handwashing signs. Facilities must comply with ADA requirements.
