Overview

Marathon convenience store in Dade City has a history of serious food safety violations across eight inspections dating back to July 2022. The facility recorded 83 total violations, with a pattern of high-priority violations including improper raw food storage, inadequate hot-holding temperatures, and hand-washing failures. Raw chicken was stored directly above ready-to-eat foods in the walk-in cooler in at least three separate inspections (July 2022, September 2023, and September 2024). Hot-held foods measured significantly below the required 135°F minimum across multiple inspections, with readings as low as 95–98°F for various prepared items in the July 2022 inspection. Chemical storage violations—cleaning supplies and auto chemicals stored directly above ice machines, food, and clean utensils—appeared repeatedly in September 2024 and July 2022 inspections. An inspector documented in July 2022 that the facility demonstrated "a pattern of non-compliance" regarding hand washing, sanitization, hot-holding temperatures, and allergen awareness. In July 2022, FDACS required the facility to provide satisfactory microbial ice analysis results or face a stop-use order; the facility was also required to pay a fee for carrying hemp extract products without proper designation as a Hemp Food Establishment. A September 2023 inspection resulted in a check-back requirement and mandated written procedures for vomiting and diarrheal events. Most violations cited were corrected on site during inspections. The most recent inspection on January 5, 2026 was a focused walk-behind evaluation with zero violations; a December 29, 2025 sanitation inspection cited 10 violations, including raw chicken above precooked potato wedges, hot-held foods measured at 122–130°F, and improper hand washing, all of which were corrected on site.
