Overview

Pipos Cuban Bakery has been subject to multiple stop orders within the past two months due to temperature control failures and equipment sanitation issues. A stop-sale order issued August 19, 2024 required the voluntary destruction of beef empanadas after hot-holding temperatures fell below the required minimum. A second stop-sale order on September 5, 2024 led to destruction of cold-held food items found at 46–48°F in the walk-in cooler, where raw shell eggs were also stored at ambient temperature instead of proper refrigeration. Two separate stop-use orders on September 5 and September 16, 2024 addressed unsanitary equipment conditions in the walk-in cooler; the cooler was repaired and released on September 16 after the facility demonstrated it could maintain proper cold-holding temperatures of 41°F or below. The August 19 inspection documented 20 violations including employee health policy gaps and the absence of written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events. A September 5 follow-up inspection found 5 violations, though the facility corrected cold-holding issues on site and complied with prior citations. The most recent focused inspection on September 16 found no violations and released the repaired walk-in cooler for use.
