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 V06 (Handwashing facilities) mean?

HYGIENE INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURE: Without adequate handwashing facilities, proper hand hygiene is impossible. Studies show handwashing compliance drops to 5% when sinks are inaccessible or poorly equipped. No hot water means grease and biofilms remain on hands. No soap reduces bacterial removal from 99.9% to 25%. No towels means wet hands spread 1,000x more bacteria. Provide handwashing facilities with: hot and cold running water (minimum 100°F), soap in dispensers, single-use paper towels or air dryers, waste receptacle. Sinks must be accessible at all times — never blocked by equipment, supplies, or used for other purposes. Install handwashing signs in employee language(s).

What does Florida violation V16 (Proper cooking temps) mean?

PATHOGEN SURVIVAL: Undercooking is a leading cause of foodborne illness. Salmonella in poultry survives below 165°F — causes 1.35 million US infections annually. E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef survives below 155°F — causes bloody diarrhea and kidney failure. Trichinella in pork survives below 145°F. Proper cooking is the critical kill step that destroys these pathogens. Cook to minimum internal temperatures: Poultry/stuffing/reheated foods: 165°F for 15 seconds. Ground meats: 155°F for 15 seconds. Pork/beef/fish/eggs (immediate service): 145°F for 15 seconds. Whole roasts: 145°F for 4 minutes. Verify with calibrated probe thermometer in thickest part. Microwave cooking: 165°F, rotate, stand 2 minutes.
