Overview

Sunseed Cooperative, a health food store with food service in Cape Canaveral, received a focused inspection on August 31, 2026. Prior to that, on August 26, 2026, the facility underwent a sanitation inspection and was found to have six violations.

The violations included structural deficiencies: visible light at the bottom of the receiving door allowing potential pest entry, and an unisex restroom lacking a self-closing door. Food storage issues were documented, with cases of water stored directly on the floor in both the backroom and sales floor, rather than the required minimum of six inches above floor level. A cross-contamination hazard was identified when raw shell eggs were stored over ready-to-eat drinks in the walk-in cooler; the eggs were relocated during the inspection. The facility had not posted the required age restriction signage for kratom products stating that sales to persons under 21 are prohibited. Additionally, no documentation was in place for employees to report foodborne illness information to management, and the inspector provided an employee reporting agreement handout to address this deficiency. The most recent inspection on August 31, 2026, was a focused inspection with results documented in the state system.
