What does Florida violation V22 (Consumer advisory) mean?

INFORMED CHOICE: Without consumer advisory, customers with compromised immune systems, elderly, pregnant women, and young children cannot make informed decisions about consuming raw or undercooked foods. Raw oysters carry Vibrio vulnificus (50% fatality in at-risk groups). Undercooked eggs carry Salmonella Enteritidis. Raw fish may contain Anisakis parasites. Provide written consumer advisory with: disclosure identifying menu items containing raw or undercooked animal foods (eggs, meat, fish, shellfish), and a reminder statement about increased risk of foodborne illness. Must be on menu, placard, or other conspicuous written format. Covers items like rare burgers, sushi, sunny-side-up eggs, raw oysters.

What does Florida violation V53 (Outer openings protected) mean?

PEST ENTRY: Unprotected outer openings (doors, windows, vents) allow entry of flies, rodents, birds, and other pests. A single open door can admit hundreds of flies in minutes — each carrying 100+ pathogens. Gaps around doors allow mice (1/4 inch) and rats (1/2 inch) to enter. Birds nest in rafters, contaminating food with droppings carrying Salmonella and Histoplasma. Protect all outer openings: install self-closing doors, tight-fitting screens on windows and vents, air curtains at frequently used entrances, door sweeps on exterior doors. Seal gaps around pipes and utility penetrations. Keep doors closed when not in active use. Maintain screens in good repair — no holes or tears.
