What does Florida violation V01 (Management awareness) mean?

MANAGEMENT FAILURE: CDC data shows establishments without active managerial control have 3x more critical violations. The person in charge must demonstrate knowledge of foodborne illness prevention, HACCP principles, and Florida food safety law. Without oversight, violations go uncorrected, creating compounding risk of multi-pathogen outbreaks. Person in charge must be present during ALL hours of operation and must demonstrate knowledge of: foodborne illness risk factors, proper cooking temperatures, handwashing procedures, allergen management, and employee health policy. Must hold a valid Food Manager Certification per Florida Statute 509.039.

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.
