Little Panda in Lake Worth
Last inspected:
6550 Hypoluxo Rd, Lake Worth, FL 33467Little Panda in Lake Worth has a severe compliance problem. Across 24 inspections since 2016, the facility accumulated 129 violations, averaging 5.4 per inspection — just above the Florida statewide average but with a troubling concentration of high-priority findings. Employee health policy violations and handwashing violations appeared repeatedly across inspections, with 7 separate handwashing-related high-priority citations since October 2023. Food contact surface violations and shell stock handling violations also recurred. A major escalation occurred in late 2025: on December 17, an inspection documented 15 violations including 5 high-priority findings (employee health reporting, food contact surfaces, shell stock requirements, handwashing, and consumer advisory); this was immediately followed by another inspection on December 18 citing 9 violations with administrative complaint recommended. On March 26, 2026, inspectors again found 20 violations including 2 high-priority citations for employee health policy and toxic substance control, resulting in an administrative complaint recommendation. The facility complied with a callback inspection the following day on March 27 with zero violations. No emergency closures are on record, but the rapid escalation of violations and repeated administrative complaint recommendations in the most recent inspections indicate ongoing serious compliance failures, particularly in employee health practices and handwashing protocols.
