Mas Food Mart in Deland
Last inspected:
1535 E New York Ave, Deland, FL 32724Mas Food Mart in Deland operates as a limited food service convenience store and has been subject to recurring compliance issues documented across five inspections between February 2023 and September 2023. The facility accumulated 17 violations on its February 2023 inspection and 13 violations on its August 2023 inspection, with a focus on employee illness reporting procedures, vomit and diarrhea response protocols, handwashing sink provisions, and chemical storage labeling. In February 2023, the inspector found unsigned employee illness reporting agreements, no written procedures for responding to vomit or diarrhea events, unlabeled spray bottles of cleaning chemicals in the backroom, and inadequate handwashing facilities at the public restroom—the last of which was corrected on site when soap was provided. The August 2023 inspection documented the same pattern of deficiencies: again no signed employee illness reporting agreements, no written vomit and diarrhea procedures, and missing hand-drying means at the warewash room handwash sink, which was corrected on site with paper towels provided. The facility also was found operating beyond the scope of its food permit and was required to pay an additional permit fee within 10 days. Beginning in September 2023, the facility was cited for operating with an expired food permit across two consecutive focused inspections conducted offsite to verify documentation, with the inspector noting that satisfactory water documentation was ultimately provided.
