Last inspected:

388 N Marion Ave, Lake City, FL 32055
Overview

Y J Food Store, a grocery store in Lake City, has been inspected twice on record since November 2022, with a combined 7 violations. All violations cited were intermediate priority (Pf) — foundation-level systemic issues rather than imminent hazards. The most recent inspection on June 24, 2024 found three violations: the person in charge could not verify that employees were informed of their responsibility to report health conditions transmissible through food, the establishment lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrhea events, and a common towel was observed being used for drying employee hands at the hand wash sink. An earlier inspection on November 17, 2022 documented similar deficiencies: missing employee health reporting procedures, no written procedures for vomiting or diarrhea response, and inadequate hand-drying supplies in the women's restroom. The recurring pattern of employee health communication and hygiene procedure violations across both inspections suggests ongoing gaps in staff training and documented protocols. Both inspections were completed with requirements met.
