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.

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.
