China Star in Clermont
Last inspected:
668 E Hwy 50, Clermont, FL 34711China Star in Clermont has accumulated 309 violations across 26 inspections since 2016, averaging 11.9 violations per inspection—more than double the statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations have been persistent, including recurring handwashing failures (cited in at least 8 inspections), food contact surface contamination (appearing in nearly every inspection), employee health policy violations, and shell stock handling deficiencies. The facility has never been emergency-closed. Most recent inspections show continued compliance issues: on November 10, 2025, inspectors documented employee health reporting violations, food contact surface problems, and improper chemical storage, yet the inspection was completed with no further action. A June 23, 2025 inspection issued a warning after finding five high-priority violations including employee health policy failures and toxic substance control issues. The establishment's small seating capacity (10 seats) and consistent pattern of violations across a nine-year record suggest systemic management deficiencies rather than isolated incidents.
