K-Ville Citgo in Auburndale experienced significant food safety violations during an inspection on September 5, 2024, prompting multiple enforcement orders. Two stop-sale orders were issued that day for adulterated time/temperature control for safety food due to improper hot holding temperatures; both products were voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by the inspector.

Raw shell eggs were stored directly over chocolate bars in the walk-in cooler and were relocated during the inspection. Internal temperatures of various sandwiches in the hot food unit measured 112°F, below the required 135°F minimum; those sandwiches were voluntarily discarded. Hash brown internal temperature in cold-held storage did not meet the 41°F or below requirement.
