Overview

Top King Food Mart in Dade City had 6 inspections between July 2023 and February 2026, with a total of 28 violations documented across four inspections. The facility faced significant recurring violations in raw food separation and temperature control. In July 2023, an inspector found raw chicken stored directly above beverages in the walk-in cooler, a high-priority cross-contamination violation that the owner corrected on site. In December 2024, the same violation recurred—raw shell eggs stored above other foods—and again the owner moved the eggs during the inspection. Temperature control for ready-to-eat foods was also a repeat high-priority finding: deli products (pork and ham) measured 44–47°F when the minimum safe holding temperature is 41°F, and the owner placed them in the freezer for rapid cooling. Additional violations included live crawling insects observed on the wall behind the handwashing sink in the front cashier area (December 2025), missing hand drying devices, improper chemical storage above single-use items, and lack of verifiable employee health training documentation. The facility also added kratom products to its permit in July 2024; during a follow-up focused inspection in February 2026, the owner voluntarily discontinued the kratom line after labeling issues were identified. The most recent inspection on February 12, 2026 found no violations.
