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 V36 (Proper ventilation) mean?

AIR QUALITY: Inadequate ventilation allows accumulation of grease-laden vapors, carbon monoxide, smoke, steam, and odors. Grease deposits on surfaces attract pests and create fire hazards. Poor ventilation promotes mold growth, which produces allergenic spores and mycotoxins. Carbon monoxide from gas equipment causes headaches, dizziness, and can be fatal at high levels. Provide adequate mechanical ventilation to remove cooking fumes, smoke, steam, and odors. Maintain hood systems with clean filters — degrease monthly. Ensure adequate makeup air to prevent negative pressure. Provide sufficient lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces, 20 foot-candles in equipment/utensil areas, 10 foot-candles in walk-ins and storage.
