What does Florida violation V11 (Food in good condition) mean?

FOOD QUALITY HAZARD: Food in poor condition — spoiled, contaminated, mislabeled, or adulterated — can cause foodborne illness, allergic reactions, or poisoning. Spoiled food may contain dangerous levels of histamine (causes scombroid poisoning from fish), Listeria (grows during refrigeration), or toxin-producing molds. Mislabeled food can trigger fatal allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Inspect all food upon delivery and regularly during storage. Reject food that is: spoiled, damaged, at incorrect temperature, past expiration, improperly labeled, or from unverified sources. Date-mark all ready-to-eat TCS foods — use within 7 days if held at 41°F or below. Discard any food of questionable quality.

What does Florida violation V13 (Parasite destruction) mean?

PARASITE SURVIVAL: Without proper freezing or cooking, parasites in fish (Anisakis, tapeworm), pork (Trichinella), and wild game survive to infect consumers. Anisakis larvae in raw sushi cause severe abdominal pain and allergic reactions. Tapeworm cysts in undercooked pork/beef grow into 15-30 foot worms in intestines. Proper freezing (-4°F for 7 days) kills parasites. Fish intended for raw consumption (sushi, sashimi, ceviche, tartare) must be frozen to -4°F for 7 days, or -31°F for 15 hours before service. Exception: tuna species and aquacultured fish fed processed feed. Pork and wild game must reach minimum internal cooking temperature. Document all freezing records.

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.
