Overview

A stop-use order issued on September 29, 2025 required immediate removal of equipment at this Shell convenience store location after the handwash sink near the slushy and soda machines was found not connected to the building's drainage system, with wastewater being improperly drained into an unsealed portable container. The same inspection documented 12 violations including unsanitized food-contact surfaces (tongs and ladle used for boiled peanuts), absence of a probe thermometer for temperature monitoring, and missing written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events. The person in charge did not correctly answer questions about food-borne illness prevention and employee reporting responsibilities. Several violations were corrected on site, including removal of unsanitized utensils from service and provision of a probe thermometer. The establishment was cited for operating without a valid food permit and was given 30 days to provide hot water in employee restrooms.
