Planet Smoothie in Lake Mary

1210 S International Pkwy Ste 126, Lake Mary, FL 32746

Overview

Planet Smoothie in Lake Mary experienced a stop-sale order on September 23, 2024 for adulterated time/temperature control for safety food after inspectors found oat milk at 59°F and almond milk at 44°F in a reach-in cooler — both failed to meet the required 41°F or below. The products were voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. The facility has received 4 inspections on record between November 2022 and September 2024, accumulating 17 violations. The most recent inspection on September 23, 2024 documented 14 violations including a priority cold-holding temperature violation, priority foundation violations for handwashing procedures (an employee washed hands in a blender rinse sink rather than a designated handwashing sink), employee fingernail hygiene (food service employee wearing fingernail polish while serving without gloves), and failure to maintain written employee illness reporting procedures. Prior inspections identified recurring handwashing and sink accessibility issues: in April 2024, inspectors found insufficient hot water pressure at a back-room handwashing sink and documented employees using dump sinks and equipment drainage racks to wash hands rather than designated handwashing sinks; these violations were corrected on-site and verified as resolved in a May 2024 follow-up inspection. A separate stop-use order from November 2022 for an ice maker with biofilm buildup remained in effect as of that inspection date.
