What does Florida violation V22 (Consumer advisory) mean?

INFORMED CHOICE: Without consumer advisory, customers with compromised immune systems, elderly, pregnant women, and young children cannot make informed decisions about consuming raw or undercooked foods. Raw oysters carry Vibrio vulnificus (50% fatality in at-risk groups). Undercooked eggs carry Salmonella Enteritidis. Raw fish may contain Anisakis parasites. Provide written consumer advisory with: disclosure identifying menu items containing raw or undercooked animal foods (eggs, meat, fish, shellfish), and a reminder statement about increased risk of foodborne illness. Must be on menu, placard, or other conspicuous written format. Covers items like rare burgers, sushi, sunny-side-up eggs, raw oysters.

What does Florida violation V27 (Correct procedures) mean?

PROCESS FAILURE: Specialized processes (smoking, curing, fermenting, reduced-oxygen packaging, sprouting) require precise controls to prevent Clostridium botulinum growth and toxin production. Botulism toxin is one of the most lethal substances known — 1 microgram is fatal. Improperly processed vacuum-packed foods, smoked fish, and fermented products have caused deadly outbreaks. Obtain prior approval (variance) from regulatory authority before conducting specialized processes. Develop HACCP plan with: hazard analysis, critical control points, critical limits, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification, and record keeping. Maintain all required documentation. Train staff on specific process procedures.
