ADULTERATION HAZARD: Food contaminated by chemicals (sanitizers, cleaners, pesticides), physical hazards (glass, metal, bandages), or biological agents (bacteria, viruses, parasites) can cause acute poisoning, choking, injury, or severe foodborne illness. Chemical contamination can cause burns to mouth/throat. Foreign objects cause choking, broken teeth, and lacerations. Protect food from ALL contamination sources. Store chemicals below and away from food. Use food-grade containers only. Inspect food upon receipt and before preparation. Maintain clean equipment and work surfaces. Cover food during storage. Separate raw from ready-to-eat. Remove contaminated food immediately — do not serve.

What does Florida violation V12 (Shell stock requirements) mean?

SHELLFISH TRACEABILITY: Shellfish (oysters, clams, mussels) are high-risk foods consumed raw or lightly cooked. Without proper identification tags, contaminated shellfish cannot be traced during outbreaks. Vibrio vulnificus from Gulf shellfish has a 50% fatality rate in at-risk populations. Norovirus in shellfish causes 50% of shellfish-related illnesses. Proper tags enable rapid recall during outbreaks. Maintain shellfish tags for 90 days from date of sale/service. Tags must include: harvester name and certification number, harvest date and location, quantity, dealer information. Store shellfish in original tagged container until empty. Record date on each container when last shell is removed. Never commingle shellfish from different lots.

What does Florida violation V22 (Consumer advisory) mean?

INFORMED CHOICE: Without consumer advisory, customers with compromised immune systems, elderly, pregnant women, and young children cannot make informed decisions about consuming raw or undercooked foods. Raw oysters carry Vibrio vulnificus (50% fatality in at-risk groups). Undercooked eggs carry Salmonella Enteritidis. Raw fish may contain Anisakis parasites. Provide written consumer advisory with: disclosure identifying menu items containing raw or undercooked animal foods (eggs, meat, fish, shellfish), and a reminder statement about increased risk of foodborne illness. Must be on menu, placard, or other conspicuous written format. Covers items like rare burgers, sushi, sunny-side-up eggs, raw oysters.
