Overview

A stop-sale and stop-use enforcement action on November 12, 2025 required the immediate removal of time/temperature control for safety food from the grab and go cooler at this Lakeland 7-Eleven location after inspectors measured internal temperatures ranging from 42°F to 49°F, well above the required maximum of 41°F. Products including buffalo chicken tender salad, BLT chicken tender salad, sweet chili chicken tender salad, and ham and cheese sandwiches were voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by the inspector. On the same date, a stop-use order was issued for the cooler itself due to unsanitary equipment conditions under FS 500.04 and FS 500.172. A second stop-use order issued November 14, 2025 for the same cooler was released after a follow-up inspection verified temperatures measured 39°F to 41°F and confirmed equipment repairs. The November 12 inspection also documented cross-contamination violations in the walk-in cooler (raw pork sausage and pork chunks stored directly above raw beef chunks, corrected on site), a handwashing violation (employee touched face then put on gloves without washing hands, corrected immediately), and labeling violations for ready-to-eat dairy products marked for 14-day holding instead of the required 7 days. The facility has undergone 5 inspections since April 2023 with no additional violations recorded after the November 2025 enforcement action.
