Overview

Pettys Of Seminole Inc, a grocery store in Longwood, had 4 inspections on record between September 2022 and September 2025, with no violations recorded across the first three inspections. A sanitation inspection on September 15, 2025 identified 16 violations, primarily priority-level findings. Stop-sale orders issued that same day required the immediate removal of products for time/temperature control violations related to improper date marking and disposition under FS 500 and FAC 5K-4. During the inspection, an employee was observed leaving the deli workstation, touching unwashed produce, and returning to food preparation without washing hands or changing gloves before slicing tomato — the employee corrected this by washing hands and donning fresh gloves during the inspection. Cold-held cheese products in an open-air cooler were measured at 44–46°F when the required minimum is 41°F; all products were moved to a walk-in cooler for rapid cooling. The facility lacked written procedures specifying methods of compliance for products held on time as a public health control, and a quaternary ammonia sanitizing test kit was not available — both corrected during the inspection. ROP station records were missing shift manager verification on multiple days. A follow-up focused inspection on September 19, 2025 found no violations.
