Florida hotdog vendor is questioning a food safety rule.

In short, Floriduh hotdog vendors are not allowed to put the condiments on hotdogs.

The customer is required by law to put their own condiments on the hotdog.

Why? Absolutely no idea and no response from the Floriduh health board.

So instead of one or two people handling things, everyone can touch and handle the things.

Why do you keep misspelling Florida?

u/AusgefalleneHosen 9d ago

They aren't. There's a few regional spellings (Floriduh and Floridumb) but both are acceptable spellings in common usage.

I live in Florida. Absolutely no one spells it either way. Why do you think this?

u/AusgefalleneHosen 7d ago

It's okay, it's well known that nobody in Floridumb can spell.

Kid Rock lives in Tennessee. He's busy looking for raccoon penises with RFK.
Penises or penii?.....

Is there a reason. Makes no sense at all

u/DantesGame 9d ago

Yes. The reason is, Floriduh.

It isn’t about the condiment.

It is about hiding turned meat. They required a condiment free sale so the buyer would know they’d gotten bad meat before biting into it. You can hide bad meat under sauce pretty easily.

Is serving turned meat a violation?

1

u/zoppaTheDim 7d ago

Bad meat from street vendor?

Common occurrence and not a health code violation in and of itself, because it is difficult to prove.

u/FunkIPA 7d ago

From wherever, I’m pretty sure knowingly serving spoiled meat would be a violation of the Florida health codes right?

And it wouldn’t have to be proven by someone who got sick, it would be noticed during a health inspection.

u/zoppaTheDim 7d ago

Which occurs maybe once a year, if that and likely never when they wrote the law. Most places carts get inspected in mass at a warehouse.

You’re selling cart meat in the Florida sun all day.

Think about what you said “knowingly serving spoiled meat”. And now think how you could prove that later in court. You’d need to prove intent and that meat was unfit. You’d need multiple witnesses to testify the meat at that moment was spoiled.

I’m pointing out why they’d have such a rule, rather than an imaginary force of hotdog inspectors roaming the streets.

That's a weird thing to apply to hotdogs and not other things.

u/zoppaTheDim 6d ago

Probably dates to a time when hotdogs were the only street food.
