Tonys Produce Market in Crystal River

Last inspected:

454 Ne 3rd St, Crystal River, FL 34429
Overview

Tonys Produce Market in Crystal River has been inspected twice by FDACS since March 2023, with a combined 9 violations. The most recent inspection on September 18, 2025 documented 4 violations related to employee health policy and foodborne illness reporting procedures. The person in charge was unable to discuss or demonstrate the facility's employee health policy, including types and symptoms of foodborne illness or when employees should be excluded from work, and could not verify that employees had been informed of their responsibility to report illness. During a March 2, 2023 inspection, inspectors found raw beef held above ready-to-eat citrus fruits in the walk-in cooler and raw bacon positioned above fully cooked wieners in a reach-in cooler — both violations of safe food storage separation requirements. The owner corrected both cross-contamination issues on site. That inspection also cited the person in charge for inability to demonstrate a food safety or employee illness policy and found the facility lacked written procedures for responding to foodborne illness events. A focused inspection on October 28, 2024 conducted in response to Hurricane Milton found no violations.
