What does Florida violation V36 (Proper ventilation) mean?

AIR QUALITY: Inadequate ventilation allows accumulation of grease-laden vapors, carbon monoxide, smoke, steam, and odors. Grease deposits on surfaces attract pests and create fire hazards. Poor ventilation promotes mold growth, which produces allergenic spores and mycotoxins. Carbon monoxide from gas equipment causes headaches, dizziness, and can be fatal at high levels. Provide adequate mechanical ventilation to remove cooking fumes, smoke, steam, and odors. Maintain hood systems with clean filters — degrease monthly. Ensure adequate makeup air to prevent negative pressure. Provide sufficient lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces, 20 foot-candles in equipment/utensil areas, 10 foot-candles in walk-ins and storage.

What does Florida violation V40 (Wiping cloths usage) mean?

CONTAMINATION SPREAD: Improperly used wiping cloths are one of the most common contamination vehicles in food service. A single dirty cloth spreads millions of bacteria across every surface wiped. Cloths used on raw meat surfaces and then food contact surfaces cause direct cross-contamination. Bacteria double every 20 minutes on damp cloths at room temperature. Wet wiping cloths must be stored in sanitizer solution between uses: chlorine 50-100 ppm or quaternary ammonium 200-400 ppm. Change solution every 4 hours or when visibly soiled. Use separate cloths for food contact vs. non-food contact surfaces. Dry wiping cloths may be used on food contact surfaces only if laundered daily. Test sanitizer concentration with test strips.
