Foodtok in Lake Worth

516 S Dixie Hwy, Lake Worth, FL 33460
Overview

FOODTOK in Lake Worth has been inspected twice since September 2023, accumulating 21 violations across both visits. The facility is licensed as a food service establishment by both DBPR and FDACS and operates at Risk Level 2. Both inspections resulted in "Met Inspection Requirements" or "Met Sanitation Inspection Requirements" dispositions, indicating violations were addressed during the inspection process or corrected on site.

The facility shows a pattern of intermediate-priority (Pf) violations concentrated in employee health and food safety management. Person in charge knowledge gaps appeared in both inspections: the operator was unable to correctly respond to questions about foodborne disease transmission, symptoms, and employee illness reporting requirements. This same deficiency was documented in the September 2023 and January 2025 inspections. A plumbing backflow prevention violation at the meat department water outlet adjacent to the handwashing sink was cited in both inspections and remains unresolved as of January 2025. The facility also lacks written procedures for responding to vomitus or diarrhea incidents — a systemic management gap cited in both visits. A high-priority food-contact surface violation in the meat department (dried food particles in the band saw machine's blade and wheel) was corrected on site during the January 2025 inspection. A food temperature probe thermometer was missing during the January 2025 inspection but was obtained during the visit. The most recent inspection on January 27, 2025 documented 12 violations with some corrected on site.
