Donut King in Minneola
Last inspected:
208 S Highway 27, Minneola, FL 34715Donut King in Minneola has a compliance record marked by significant infrastructure failures and knowledge gaps that required multiple interventions. The bakery's five inspections between September 2022 and November 2025 reflect ongoing struggles with food safety fundamentals, though recent years show improvement.
The most serious findings occurred during a September 2022 re-inspection that documented a grease trap overflowing and leaking onto the ground behind the building, a sewage disposal violation. That same visit found the walk-in cooler maintaining 47–48°F instead of the required 41°F or below, causing temperature abuse of eggs, liquid egg product, bacon, and shredded cheese stored for more than 24 hours. The manager voluntarily discarded raw shell eggs during the inspection, and a technician repaired the cooler unit on-site. Employees were also observed entering the food prep area without handwashing. A follow-up inspection in October 2022 verified that compliance issues had been resolved, including confirmation that the grease trap area was cleaned.
The most recent inspection on November 18, 2025 issued 23 violations, predominantly Priority Foundation (systemic) issues rather than imminent hazards. A spray bottle of blue glass cleaner was found stored on a metal prep shelf near uncovered cambros of donut icing, corrected on-site. The facility lacked a certified food protection manager and the person in charge could not correctly answer food safety questions. Written procedures for cleanup of vomit and diarrheal events were missing (guidance was provided), employees had not been properly informed of their duty to report foodborne illness symptoms, and sanitizer test strips were not available for the three-compartment sink (acquired before inspection end). The facility's knowledge and management deficiencies pattern across the 2025 inspection, contrasting with the infrastructure focus of 2022 findings.
