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 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 V35 (Single-use items) mean?

CONTAMINATION RISK: Reusing single-use items (gloves, cups, utensils, foil) that were designed for one use creates contamination pathways. Single-use gloves develop micro-tears during use, becoming bacterial incubators. Reused single-use containers lose structural integrity, leaking contaminated liquids. Single-use utensils cannot be properly sanitized between uses. Single-use articles (gloves, cups, lids, foil, plastic wrap, straws, stirrers, paper napkins) must be used once and discarded. Do not wash and reuse. Store in original packaging to prevent contamination. Dispense in sanitary manner. Use food-grade single-use items only.
