Overview

The Rite Track, a convenience store and packaged ice operation in DeLand, received a sanitation inspection on September 16, 2026, that identified 14 violations requiring correction.

Critical violations included the absence of microbiological laboratory testing for bagged ice within the required 90-day period—the inspector warned that failure to provide results within 30 days would result in a stop-use order. The facility also lacked a stem probe thermometer for checking food temperatures, had no chlorine sanitizing test kit available (obtained during inspection), and failed to ensure the handwashing sink remained accessible (a stool and boxes were blocking it, removed during the inspection). The person in charge could not answer questions about foodborne illness prevention or demonstrate knowledge of employee health reporting requirements. Additionally, commercially processed Pop-Tarts on the retail shelf were not properly labeled for sale and were removed from the sales floor during the inspection.

Structural and sanitation deficiencies included broken and water-damaged ceiling tiles throughout the facility, debris buildup on cooler ceiling fans, a gap under the back door allowing pest intrusion, ice cream pints in direct contact with ice accumulation, and residue on a can opener (cleaned during inspection). The facility lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events and had no certified food protection manager on staff. The inspection outcome was "Met Sanitation Inspection Requirements—Check Back Needed," contingent on correcting citations and submission of microbiological test results.

Summary generated from Florida DBPR public inspection records. This facility has an active inspection record with the Florida DBPR.
