Golden Meals in Deland

Last inspected:

933 N Woodland Blvd, Deland, FL 32720
Overview

Golden Meals in DeLand had one stop-use order issued December 22, 2025, requiring the destruction of unsanitary equipment (food and nonfood-contact surfaces) under Florida Statutes 500.04 and 500.172. The equipment was voluntarily destroyed and witnessed by the inspector. During the same inspection, the facility was found with a chlorine sanitizer in the warewash sink registering 0 PPM, sweet potatoes on the hot bar at 96–110°F (below the required 135°F minimum), no sanitizer test kit, no hand-drying means at the hot bar handwash sinks, and no written procedures for cleanup of vomiting and diarrheal events. All cited violations were corrected on site: the sanitizer was replaced to meet required levels, sweet potatoes were rapidly reheated to over 165°F, a sanitizer test kit was provided, and paper towels were supplied. A focused inspection conducted the same day found no violations after the establishment confirmed it no longer cooks from raw or operates the deli. Golden Meals had six inspections on record from December 2023 to December 2025, with eight total violations — all from the December 2025 sanitation inspection, and all corrected during that visit.
