Last inspected:

5730 10th Ave N, Greenacres, FL 33463
Overview

Greenacres 10Th Ave North Inc., a convenience store in Greenacres, has a record of significant food safety compliance failures. The facility was cited for operating without a valid food permit in July 2022 and subsequently found operating beyond the scope of its permit in August 2023. The July 2022 inspection documented 20 violations including priority-level temperature control failures—burritos, steak cheese burgers, and turkey ranch sandwiches were held at 56–58°F instead of the required 41°F or below and were voluntarily discarded. That inspection also found the person in charge unable to correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention, no certified food protection manager on staff, and missing food safety equipment (thermometer, sanitizer test kit, handwashing soap). The August 2023 inspection cited 18 violations including raw shell eggs improperly stored above ready-to-eat beverages, flies observed in the retail area, the person in charge again unable to answer food safety questions, and missing written procedures for cleaning up vomiting and diarrheal incidents. A corrected-on-site notation indicates raw eggs were relocated to the bottom shelf during that inspection. A September 2023 focused inspection verified installation of a compliant handwashing sink and found zero violations.
