Overview

Key Food Supermarket in Mount Dora has been subject to four inspections on record between May 2024 and February 2026. A stop-use order issued April 9, 2025 required repair or replacement of unsanitary equipment; the equipment was subsequently repaired and released. On the same date, a stop-sale order addressed time and temperature control violations for food requiring proper date marking.

The April 9, 2025 inspection identified 16 violations, predominantly priority-level findings involving temperature control failures and cross-contamination. Deli hot-held items were found at 107–120°F, well below the required 135°F minimum; cold-held deli items measured 44°F, exceeding the 41°F threshold. Raw animal foods (raw snapper and bacon) were stored directly above ready-to-eat hot dogs in the meat walk-in cooler, and raw sausages were positioned above ready-to-eat sausage on the retail meat display shelf. Smoked turkey chub was found with a discard date that had already passed. Items marked for time-only control were labeled with a 5-hour discard window instead of the permitted 4-hour maximum. All violations were corrected on site during the inspection: employees relocated items for proper separation, reheated deli products to 165°F and verified, relocated cold items to alternative refrigeration, and discarded expired product. A check-back inspection conducted April 23, 2025 confirmed all compliance issues had been resolved. The most recent focused inspection on February 2, 2026 found zero violations.
