Overview

Citgo in Greenacres encountered significant food safety violations during an October 21, 2024 inspection conducted after the facility was found operating without a valid food permit. Two stop-sale orders were issued on the same date: one for hard shell eggs held at 50°F (exceeding the 41°F maximum for time/temperature control foods), and another for a bag of rice with compromised packaging on the retail shelf. Both products were voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by the inspector. The inspection documented 18 total violations, including raw eggs stored directly over ready-to-eat beverages in the walk-in cooler (corrected on site), a Certified Food Protection Manager requirement not met, and employee health policy gaps. The person in charge could not correctly answer questions about foodborne illness symptoms and employee reporting responsibilities. Multiple violations were corrected during the visit, though the facility's foundational compliance gaps—permit status, cold-holding temperature control, manager certification, and employee health knowledge—represent systemic issues requiring ongoing attention.
