Overview

Qwe Investment LLC operates a convenience store with significant packaged ice sales in Crystal River. The facility had 5 inspections between February 2023 and October 2024, with 17 total violations recorded and no stop-sale or stop-use orders issued.

The most serious violations appeared during a February 2023 Met Inspection, when the facility received 15 violations including multiple priority (P) findings. Inspectors documented cold-held foods stored at unsafe temperatures: sliced cheese at 46°F, ham at 51°F, and ready-to-eat sausage patties at 58°F in the sandwich prep cooler, all well above the required 41°F maximum. The inspector found gallon-size containers of chemicals stored directly above ice bags in the back room, and a spray bottle of cleaning solution stored with dishes on the clean side of the 3-compartment sink — both chemical storage violations. The ice machine interior displayed a buildup of black mold-like substance at the ice chute. The person in charge could not verify that employees had been informed of health reporting responsibilities or correctly discuss food-borne illness prevention procedures. All violations were corrected on site during the inspection.

A September 2023 focused inspection found 2 priority violations: raw shell eggs stored over ready-to-eat foods in the prep area (corrected on site), and a sanitizer solution that registered at .00 ppm (discarded during inspection). Subsequent focused inspections in August 2023 and February 2023 in response to Hurricane Idalia and another request found no violations. The most recent inspection on October 28, 2024, a Hurricane Milton follow-up, recorded no violations.
