Marathon in Homestead

26398 S Dixie Hwy, Homestead, FL 33032

Overview

Marathon in Homestead is a convenience store licensed to produce packaged ice. A June 2023 inspection identified five violations requiring corrective action. The inspector noted that the establishment had not provided records of microbial analysis of finished ice product by an approved laboratory within the required six-month period and ordered the facility to submit satisfactory ice analysis results within 30 days or face a stop-use order. The back room area lacked a handwashing sink near the ice machine used for bagging ice, and the inspector issued a 30-day compliance deadline to install one or receive a stop-use order. The person in charge could not identify the six foodborne illnesses required by food safety training, and no consumer advisory was posted for undercooked eggs, though the establishment corrected the latter violation on site by posting a sign during the inspection. The most recent inspection disposition was "Met Inspection Requirements; Check-back Needed" on June 9, 2023.
