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 V29 (Proper sewage disposal) mean?

SEWAGE EXPOSURE: Improper sewage disposal creates risk of fecal contamination throughout the facility. Raw sewage contains billions of pathogens per liter including Norovirus, Hepatitis A, pathogenic E. coli, Campylobacter, and parasites. Sewage backup in food areas requires immediate closure and extensive decontamination. Groundwater contamination affects entire communities. All sewage and waste water must be disposed through approved sanitary sewer or private system. No direct connections between sewage lines and water supply. Grease traps must be maintained and cleaned regularly. Floor drains must function properly. Report sewage backups immediately and cease food operations until resolved.
