Overview

Arp Generation Food Mart in Melbourne operated without a valid food permit when inspected on April 28, 2023, and was cited for 19 violations including critical food storage and chemical safety issues. During that inspection, raw fish was found stored directly above ready-to-eat food items in the walk-in cooler, and cleaning chemicals were stored above ready-to-eat food on a retail shelf — both violations were corrected on site. The facility also lacked a thin probe thermometer for temperature control of time-temperature control for safety foods, a written procedure for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events, and a backflow prevention device at the outside hose bibb. A mop and service sink were not provided within the required 30-day window, prompting the inspector's warning that failure to comply may result in administrative action. A follow-up inspection on June 1, 2023 confirmed that all compliance issues had been resolved and the establishment met inspection requirements after providing the missing mop and service sink. A subsequent focused inspection on August 11, 2023 noted a permit type change from Limited Food Service to Significant Food Service with no violations cited.
