Overview

Sun Stop #0314 in Lake City has been cited for repeated temperature control violations across multiple inspections. During a routine inspection on December 11, 2025, chicken gizzards held for service measured 120°F, below the required 135°F minimum — they were reheated above 165°F during the inspection. An employee was also observed not washing hands before donning gloves. The facility failed to maintain written procedures for time-without-temperature-control as a public health safeguard. In an October 2024 inspection, the ice chute on a soda machine contained mold-like buildup and was cleaned on site; a handwashing sink was blocked by a dirty dish, which was moved during inspection. A significant October 2022 inspection documented 16 violations including raw shell eggs stored directly above ready-to-eat products in the walk-in cooler (corrected on site), chicken tenders and home fries measured at 109–110°F on the service line (voluntarily discarded), sliced tomatoes and lettuce at 58–60°F in cold holding (moved to freezer during inspection), floor cleaner stored atop boxed soda mix, and a spray nozzle positioned below the flood rim. Most violations across inspections were corrected on site, indicating responsive management, though temperature control and employee hygiene remain recurring concerns.
