Sandys Cafe and Bakery INC in Live Oak

Last inspected:

426 Howard St E, Live Oak, FL 32064
Overview

Sandy's Cafe and Bakery in Live Oak has been cited for multiple priority violations across two inspections on record. A July 2022 inspection documented adulterated rice with insects, raw chicken stored directly above raw beef in both a display case and walk-in cooler, glass cleaner bottles stored next to food items, and improperly date-marked ready-to-eat foods including lamb soup and cooked chicken held over 24 hours. All violations were corrected on site during that inspection. A December 2024 inspection found raw shell eggs held above raw shrimp and marinated pork in a cooler, an improperly date-marked container of cooked tripe, and the facility was unable to provide employee health reporting responsibilities in a verifiable manner. Raw eggs were relocated to the bottom shelf and the tripe was properly date-marked during the inspection, confirming the product remained within the 7-day holding limit. Cross-contamination of raw animal foods—both violations corrected on site—represents a recurring concern across the facility's inspection history. The most recent inspection on December 6, 2024 resulted in 10 violations with corrections noted.
