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 V36 (Proper ventilation) mean?

AIR QUALITY: Inadequate ventilation allows accumulation of grease-laden vapors, carbon monoxide, smoke, steam, and odors. Grease deposits on surfaces attract pests and create fire hazards. Poor ventilation promotes mold growth, which produces allergenic spores and mycotoxins. Carbon monoxide from gas equipment causes headaches, dizziness, and can be fatal at high levels. Provide adequate mechanical ventilation to remove cooking fumes, smoke, steam, and odors. Maintain hood systems with clean filters — degrease monthly. Ensure adequate makeup air to prevent negative pressure. Provide sufficient lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces, 20 foot-candles in equipment/utensil areas, 10 foot-candles in walk-ins and storage.
