Part of: 7-Eleven Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

7-Eleven Store #41950H in Brooksville has been inspected twice on record, with 25 combined violations across the two inspections. A January 2025 inspection documented 10 violations including a repeat high-priority finding for poisonous or toxic materials not stored to prevent contamination — a spray bottle of cleaner was hanging on a shelf above sugar and paper towels in the ware washing area, though it was removed during the inspection. The same spray bottle storage issue was cited in April 2023, when cleaners were left on counters near food and drink lids. Handwashing sink violations appeared in both inspections: in January 2025, the ware wash area sink lacked soap and a hand drying device, and in April 2023, a retail handwashing sink lacked paper towels. An April 2023 inspection documented three high-priority temperature control violations in roller grill products — 1/4 big bites measured 130°F, spicy garlic chicken at 127°F, and steak and cheese taquito at 122°F, all below the required 135°F minimum. The manager voluntarily discarded affected products. Date marking violations for ready-to-eat foods also appeared in April 2023, with opened products in the walk-in cooler lacking required discard dates. Multiple violations were corrected during inspections. The January 2025 inspection met sanitation requirements and the April 2023 inspection met inspection requirements despite the violations cited.
