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 V10 (Approved food source) mean?

UNSAFE FOOD SOURCE: Food from unapproved sources bypasses USDA/FDA safety inspections, potentially harboring Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, parasites, or chemical contaminants. Uninspected meat may contain antibiotics, hormones, or prions (mad cow disease). Home-canned foods risk deadly Clostridium botulinum toxin. Wild-harvested shellfish may contain paralytic toxins. All food must come from approved, inspected sources. Maintain supplier documentation and invoices. Shellfish must have proper tags retained for 90 days. No home-prepared, home-canned, or uninspected foods. Wild game must be commercially processed. Verify supplier licenses and inspection status.

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.
