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 V23 (Chemical properly stored) mean?

CHEMICAL POISONING: Improperly stored chemicals near food can cause acute poisoning through contamination, mislabeling, or accidental use. Sanitizer concentrate causes chemical burns to mouth and esophagus. Pesticides cause neurological damage. Degreaser ingestion requires emergency treatment. Cross-contamination from chemical storage areas can affect all food in facility. Store ALL chemicals: below food and food contact surfaces, in original labeled containers, separated from food storage areas, in designated chemical storage area. Never store chemicals in food containers. Maintain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals. Train employees on proper chemical handling, storage, and emergency procedures.
