Jax Spice in Jacksonville
Last inspected:
5016 Gate Pkwy, Jacksonville, FL 32256Jax Spice in Jacksonville has accumulated 100 violations across 18 inspections since 2016, averaging 5.6 violations per inspection—slightly above the Florida statewide average of 5.2. The facility has never experienced an emergency closure. High-priority violations have been recurrent and severe, including multiple citations for employee health reporting (appearing in at least 7 inspections), improper hand washing (4 inspections), chemical storage (3 inspections), and toxic substance control (3 inspections). These patterns indicate systemic management failures in core food safety practices.
Enforcement activity has escalated significantly in 2024 and 2025. A December 2024 inspection documented 11 violations including six high-priority findings—management awareness, chemical storage, consumer advisory, food contact surfaces, shell stock requirements, and hand washing—and resulted in an administrative complaint recommendation. The pattern continued in March 2025 with 11 violations (7 high-priority), again recommending administrative complaint. In August 2025, two consecutive inspections within four days revealed additional problems: an August 13 inspection cited 21 violations including high-priority employee health reporting, food contact surfaces, and toxic substance control (disposition: Warning Issued); an August 14 inspection added 6 more high-priority employee health violations and recommended administrative complaint. The most recent inspection on August 18, 2025 found zero violations and resulted in Call Back - Complied, though this appears to follow corrective action rather than indicating stable compliance given the pattern immediately preceding it.
