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

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.

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.
