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 V50 (Adequate lighting) mean?

DETECTION FAILURE: Inadequate lighting prevents employees from identifying food contamination, insect presence, dirt on equipment, and other safety hazards. Studies show food safety violations increase 60% in poorly lit areas. Employees cannot see evidence of pest activity, mold growth, or food spoilage. Poor lighting also increases injury risk from cuts and burns. Provide adequate lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces and where employee safety is important, 20 foot-candles in handwashing areas, equipment and utensil storage, and at buffet service, 10 foot-candles in walk-in coolers, dry storage, and during cleaning. Use shatter-resistant bulbs or light shields in food areas.
