Overview

7-Eleven Store #29373C in Melbourne has been inspected twice since November 2022, with significant permit and operational violations documented during the facility's transition to new ownership. On November 18, 2022, an operating-without-valid-permit inspection cited 10 violations including a priority violation for food-contact surfaces not cleaned—an inspector found tongs and metal cups holding tongs with time-temperature-control-for-safety foods in use for more than 4 hours without documented cleaning, which were washed and sanitized during inspection. A second priority violation documented motor oil stored directly over packaged candy in the backroom warewash room; the oil was relocated during inspection. Priority foundation violations included person-in-charge deficiencies in responding to employee health questions, absence of written procedures for vomiting and diarrhea cleanup, and a handwashing sink rendered inaccessible by warewash drain plugs and food service equipment stored in the basin—items were relocated during inspection. The facility changed ownership by December 28, 2022, at which time a follow-up focused inspection documented zero violations. A July 31, 2024 focused inspection addressing specific complaint issues resulted in zero violations, indicating compliance was achieved and maintained following the ownership transition.
