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.
