Overview

Speedway #6545 in Lutz has 3 inspections on record since May 2025, with 10 total violations. The most recent inspection on September 22, 2025 identified 6 violations, including a high-priority finding that hot-held items in the food service case were not maintaining required temperatures: chicken wings measured 120–123°F, buffalo chicken 120–124°F, and sweet chili chicken 119–120°F, all below the required 135°F minimum. The inspector documented that all items had been corrected on site, with products rapidly reheated to 165°F or greater. A second high-priority violation involved chemical products (cleaning supplies) stored above single-use styrofoam coolers intended for food service, creating a contamination risk; this was corrected on site by moving chemicals to the bottom shelf. Additional violations included lack of a certified food protection manager, inadequate manager knowledge of foodborne illness prevention, absence of verifiable employee food safety training documentation, and lack of written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events. A prior May 16 inspection cited 4 violations including the missing written clean-up procedures. The establishment corrected violations on site in both instances.
