Overview

7-Eleven Store #23770J in Brandon has a pattern of sanitation and employee hygiene violations that has persisted across multiple inspections. Two stop-sale orders issued on September 16, 2025 required the facility to address date marking violations on time/temperature control for safety foods. The facility recorded four inspections between November 2022 and October 2025, with a total of 25 violations documented. A November 2022 initial inspection found high-priority violations including hot-held chicken products measured at 118–125°F (below the required 135°F minimum), cleaning chemicals stored above clean utensils in the warewashing area, and an employee who worked the register and did not wash hands before preparing food. Handwashing sink deficiencies—specifically the lack of soap and supplies—were cited repeatedly across three inspections (November 2022, September 2025, and October 2025), and the sink itself was blocked by equipment or garbage containers in two separate inspections. A January 2023 inspection found the facility operating without a valid food permit. The most recent October 2025 focused inspection documented a repeat violation for a blocked handwashing sink in the warewashing area, which was corrected on site, though the facility was given 30 days to resolve the same issue in another location and directed to use an alternative handwashing sink near the three-compartment sink during that period.
