Overview

Planet Smoothie in Lake Mary operated without a valid food permit as of October 17, 2022, when a single FDACS inspection documented 10 violations. The facility lacked a certified food protection manager and failed to provide hand cleaning supplies at a back room hand wash sink; both issues were corrected during the inspection. An opened container of almond milk in the back room lacked proper seven-day date marking until the manager applied correct labeling during the visit. The inspection notes indicate the facility had submitted a permit application but had not remitted the required permit fee to complete processing.
