Exxon in Hollywood

3301 N University Dr, Hollywood, FL 33024

Overview

Exxon convenience store in Hollywood has been cited for multiple temperature control violations across three inspections since May 2023. The most recent inspection on June 2, 2025 resulted in three stop-sale orders for adulterated and improperly cooled time/temperature control foods. Inspector findings on that date included raw bacon stored directly over ready-to-eat foods in a reach-in cooler, lettuce and tomatoes held at 52–53°F after more than four hours of cooling, empanadas in a hot holding unit measuring 114–120°F (minimum required 135°F), and butter at the service counter at 67°F. All three non-compliant food items were voluntarily destroyed under inspector supervision. The facility also lacked employee health reporting procedures and had not informed staff of their obligation to report foodborne illness symptoms to management.

The facility accumulated 34 total violations across three inspections, with a pattern of temperature control failures and equipment sanitation deficiencies. A May 2023 inspection documented glass cleaner stored on a food prep table at the deli slicer, dried food buildup on deli slicer contact surfaces, absence of written vomit and diarrhea cleanup procedures, and no probe thermometer available for verifying food temperatures. The person in charge at that time could not answer questions about preventing foodborne illness transmission. Most violations during the June 2025 inspection were corrected on site, including relocation of raw bacon and placement of butter under refrigeration.
