What does Florida violation V11 (Food in good condition) mean?

FOOD QUALITY HAZARD: Food in poor condition — spoiled, contaminated, mislabeled, or adulterated — can cause foodborne illness, allergic reactions, or poisoning. Spoiled food may contain dangerous levels of histamine (causes scombroid poisoning from fish), Listeria (grows during refrigeration), or toxin-producing molds. Mislabeled food can trigger fatal allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Inspect all food upon delivery and regularly during storage. Reject food that is: spoiled, damaged, at incorrect temperature, past expiration, improperly labeled, or from unverified sources. Date-mark all ready-to-eat TCS foods — use within 7 days if held at 41°F or below. Discard any food of questionable quality.

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 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.
