What does Florida violation V02 (Employee health policy) mean?

DISEASE TRANSMISSION: Without a written employee health policy, sick food workers transmit Norovirus (20 million US cases/year), Hepatitis A (causes liver failure), Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli O157:H7. CDC estimates 40% of restaurant outbreaks involve ill food workers. A single infected employee can contaminate food for thousands of customers. Maintain written employee health policy addressing: reporting of symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever), diagnosed illnesses (Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli), exclusion and restriction criteria, and return-to-work requirements. Train all employees on policy at hiring and annually.

What does Florida violation V03 (Employee health reporting) mean?

OUTBREAK ENABLER: Food workers who fail to report illness symptoms are the #1 cause of multi-victim outbreaks. Norovirus is shed in billions of viral particles per gram of stool — as few as 18 particles cause infection. One symptomatic worker can infect hundreds of customers before detection. CDC links 70% of Norovirus outbreaks to infected food handlers. Employees must immediately report: vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, infected wounds or boils. Must also report diagnosed illness with Salmonella Typhi, Shigella, E. coli O157:H7, Hepatitis A virus, or Norovirus. Person in charge must exclude or restrict employees per FDA Food Code guidelines.

What does Florida violation V07 (No bare hand contact) mean?

DIRECT CONTAMINATION: Bare hand contact with ready-to-eat food is the primary transmission route for Norovirus (20 million US cases/year), Hepatitis A, and Staphylococcus aureus. Even freshly washed hands carry 80+ bacterial species. Ready-to-eat food receives no subsequent kill step — any pathogens transferred are consumed directly. CDC identifies this as a leading cause of foodborne outbreaks. NO bare hand contact with ready-to-eat food. Use: single-use gloves (change hourly and between tasks), tongs, spatulas, spoons, deli tissue, or dispensing equipment. Wash hands BEFORE donning gloves. Gloves are not a substitute for handwashing. Document no-bare-hand-contact policy and train all food handlers.
