What does Florida violation V24 (Toxic substance control) mean?

TOXIC EXPOSURE: Improper identification, storage, or use of toxic substances creates immediate risk of chemical contamination. Unmarked spray bottles cause accidental food contamination. Improper pesticide application contaminates food preparation surfaces. Chemical fumes in food areas are absorbed by uncovered food. Employee exposure risks chemical burns and respiratory injury. All toxic substances must be: clearly and accurately labeled, stored in designated areas away from food, used only according to manufacturer instructions, applied only by certified personnel (pesticides). Never transfer chemicals to unlabeled containers. Keep chemicals in locked storage when not in active use. Maintain chemical inventory and SDS files.

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.
