Question 4

What does Florida violation V08 (Proper hand/arm washing) mean?

Accepted Answer

TECHNIQUE FAILURE: Improper handwashing technique leaves pathogens on hands even when a handwashing attempt is made. Studies show 95% of people wash hands incorrectly — most don't scrub for 20 seconds or miss fingertips, thumbs, and between fingers. Incomplete washing creates a false sense of security while still transferring E. coli, Norovirus, and Salmonella to food. Correct technique requires: wet hands with clean warm water, apply soap, lather and scrub for 20+ seconds covering all surfaces including fingertips/nails/between fingers/back of hands, rinse thoroughly, dry with single-use towel. Use towel to turn off faucet. Do NOT use hand sanitizer as substitute for handwashing.

Question 5

What does Florida violation V12 (Shell stock requirements) mean?

Accepted Answer

SHELLFISH TRACEABILITY: Shellfish (oysters, clams, mussels) are high-risk foods consumed raw or lightly cooked. Without proper identification tags, contaminated shellfish cannot be traced during outbreaks. Vibrio vulnificus from Gulf shellfish has a 50% fatality rate in at-risk populations. Norovirus in shellfish causes 50% of shellfish-related illnesses. Proper tags enable rapid recall during outbreaks. Maintain shellfish tags for 90 days from date of sale/service. Tags must include: harvester name and certification number, harvest date and location, quantity, dealer information. Store shellfish in original tagged container until empty. Record date on each container when last shell is removed. Never commingle shellfish from different lots.

Question 6

What does Florida violation V40 (Wiping cloths usage) mean?

Accepted Answer

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.
