Question 4

What does Florida violation V02 (Employee health policy) mean?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What does Florida violation V03 (Employee health reporting) mean?

Accepted Answer

OUTBREAK ENABLER: Food workers who fail to report illness symptoms are the #1 cause of multi-victim outbreaks. Norovirus is shed in billions of viral particles per gram of stool — as few as 18 particles cause infection. One symptomatic worker can infect hundreds of customers before detection. CDC links 70% of Norovirus outbreaks to infected food handlers. Employees must immediately report: vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, infected wounds or boils. Must also report diagnosed illness with Salmonella Typhi, Shigella, E. coli O157:H7, Hepatitis A virus, or Norovirus. Person in charge must exclude or restrict employees per FDA Food Code guidelines.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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.
