What does Florida violation V02 (Employee health policy) mean?

DISEASE TRANSMISSION: Without a written employee health policy, sick food workers transmit Norovirus (20 million US cases/year), Hepatitis A (causes liver failure), Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli O157:H7. CDC estimates 40% of restaurant outbreaks involve ill food workers. A single infected employee can contaminate food for thousands of customers. Maintain written employee health policy addressing: reporting of symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever), diagnosed illnesses (Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli), exclusion and restriction criteria, and return-to-work requirements. Train all employees on policy at hiring and annually.

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 V09 (No contamination) mean?

ADULTERATION HAZARD: Food contaminated by chemicals (sanitizers, cleaners, pesticides), physical hazards (glass, metal, bandages), or biological agents (bacteria, viruses, parasites) can cause acute poisoning, choking, injury, or severe foodborne illness. Chemical contamination can cause burns to mouth/throat. Foreign objects cause choking, broken teeth, and lacerations. Protect food from ALL contamination sources. Store chemicals below and away from food. Use food-grade containers only. Inspect food upon receipt and before preparation. Maintain clean equipment and work surfaces. Cover food during storage. Separate raw from ready-to-eat. Remove contaminated food immediately — do not serve.
