Overview

Harikrushna LLC, a convenience store and packaged ice operation in Citra, operates without a valid food permit. On September 10, 2026, an inspector conducted a sanitation compliance inspection and documented 13 violations requiring correction before permit issuance.

Critical violations included a chemical spray cleaner stored above an ice cream dip well, missing drain plugs on the deli warewashing sink, and a food employee in the deli area without hair or beard restraint. The facility lacked written allergen notification for unpackaged deli items and had no sanitizer test kit available. Ready-to-eat smoked sausage and heavy whipping cream in the deli cooler were not date-marked after opening. Additional deficiencies included gaps at front entry doors and an unscreened exhaust fan allowing pest entry, unsealed wood shelving in the walk-in cooler, single-use containers stored directly on the floor, and accumulated unused equipment in the backroom.

The inspector provided corrective action on-site for several violations: drain plugs were acquired, date marks were placed on opened products, a sanitizer test kit was supplied, chemical cleaner was relocated, and written time-control procedures were created. The facility was directed to complete the food permit application within 10 days.
