Overview

Sun Stop #0342 in Lake City has had 5 FDACS inspections on record since September 2022, with a total of 11 violations documented across three inspections; the two most recent inspections in November 2025 resulted in no violations. The facility had no stop-sale or stop-use orders on record.

The most significant enforcement action occurred during a September 2022 routine inspection, when inspectors identified two high-priority violations corrected on site: raw shell eggs were displayed directly above ready-to-eat foods in the retail area and were moved to the bottom shelf during the inspection, and hot dogs in self-service hot holding rollers were measured at 118–122°F, below the required 135°F minimum, and were voluntarily discarded. A July 2023 inspection required the establishment to submit documentation of an approved water supply source within 30 days. A November 2025 routine inspection cited a handwashing sink in the back room near the bulk ice maker that was blocked and inaccessible to employees; this violation was corrected during the inspection. The most recent inspection on November 12, 2025 was a focused quality assurance walk-behind review with no violations cited.
