Overview

Starbucks #16954 in Miami received a stop-use order on February 11, 2025 after an FDACS inspector determined equipment was adulterated under Florida Statute 500.04 and lacked proper sanitation per Chapter 5K-4. The equipment was cleaned, sanitized, and released during the inspection. The facility has three inspections on record since April 2023, including a focused inspection on January 14, 2025 for sample collection that found no violations. A prior inspection in April 2023 documented eight violations, including a high-priority violation for improper hand washing in the front processing area—employees failed to wash hands after exiting the processing area and before returning to work with clean utensils and open foods. The inspector documented that the employee washed hands and donned new gloves during the inspection. The establishment also lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events, and a hand sink in the back processing area was blocked by stored caution signs and was corrected on site during the inspection. Management was counseled on sanitation and hand washing practices during the February 2025 visit.
