Overview

This 7-Eleven convenience store in Cocoa had a Met Sanitation Inspection on September 8, 2025, with 11 violations identified. A Priority violation required immediate correction: degreaser was stored directly over bottles of drinking water in the back room, creating a contamination risk. The manager moved the degreaser to a new location during the inspection. Additional Priority Foundation violations included missing employee reporting procedures for foodborne illness, improper date marking on whole milk coffee creamer in the retail dispenser (marked for 14 days instead of the required 7), lack of a readily accessible food temperature probe thermometer, missing backflow prevention on the mop sink plumbing, and absence of written vomitus and diarrhea response procedures.
