Overview

7-Eleven #15948A in Longwood operates as a limited food service convenience store and has one inspection on record. On January 17, 2023, the facility was found operating with an expired food permit and received 16 violations across priority and priority foundation categories. Critical findings included milk stored in a walk-in cooler at 42.9°F to 43.5°F, exceeding the 41°F maximum for cold-held ready-to-eat food — the manager voluntarily discarded the affected containers during the inspection. A spray bottle of peroxide disinfectant cleaner was discovered stored on a hand wash sink in the food prep area near the register, creating a contamination risk; the manager relocated the bottle during the visit. The person in charge was unable to correctly answer questions about foodborne disease transmission and reporting responsibilities. Additional violations included missing backflow prevention on the mop sink splitter in the back storage room, and absent hand cleaning supplies — no soap at the food prep hand wash sink and no paper towels at the back storage room hand wash sink. The manager provided soap and paper towels during the inspection to correct these deficiencies. The facility must obtain a current food permit to continue operations.
