Food Zone in Homestead

Last inspected:

1411 N Krome Ave, Homestead, FL 33030
Overview

Food Zone in Homestead has one inspection on record from June 2023 that documented four violations. The inspector issued a directive requiring submission of a satisfactory ice analysis within 30 days or a stop-use order would be issued on packaged ice products. Two priority foundation violations were cited: the person in charge could not identify six foodborne illnesses spread through food, and a handwashing sink in the back room was filled with debris. The debris violation was corrected on site during the inspection. The ice analysis requirement suggests the facility serves as a significant packaged ice supplier subject to microbiological testing mandates.
