SPRING HILL, FL. State inspectors ordered Bagelicious and More on County Line Road emergency-closed on September 23 after documenting live roach and fly activity throughout the Spring Hill restaurant, the second time in the facility's history that pest conditions have forced regulators to shut it down.
The closure order gave the restaurant until September 25 to correct the conditions. Records show the facility passed a follow-up inspection that morning and was allowed to reopen.
What Inspectors Found
Bagelicious and More: Recent Inspection Pattern
The September 23 inspection produced three high-severity violations and four intermediate ones. The pest activity, roaches and flies, was the condition inspectors cited as the basis for the emergency closure order.
The follow-up inspection two days later cleared the pest issue but still found three high-severity violations and three intermediate ones. Those violations included food cited as being in poor condition, mislabeled, or adulterated. Inspectors also cited the facility for failing to follow parasite destruction procedures and for lacking a required consumer advisory for raw or undercooked foods.
Two of the intermediate violations documented during the follow-up visit pointed to conditions that go beyond the pest problem that triggered the closure. Inspectors cited improper sewage or wastewater disposal and multi-use utensils that were not properly cleaned. A third intermediate violation involved inadequate ventilation and lighting.
What These Violations Mean
The parasite destruction citation is one of the more specific high-severity findings in the record. When fish, pork, or wild game is served raw or undercooked without proper prior freezing or cooking to verified temperatures, parasites including Anisakis and Trichinella can survive and infect customers. The violation is not theoretical. It is a documented gap between what the facility is serving and what the law requires to make that food safe.
The consumer advisory violation compounds that risk. Customers with compromised immune systems, elderly diners, pregnant women, and young children are the populations most vulnerable to illness from raw or undercooked proteins. Without a posted advisory, those customers have no information to make an informed choice about what they order.
The sewage and wastewater disposal citation carries a different category of danger. Improper disposal creates a pathway for fecal contamination to spread through the facility, reaching food preparation surfaces, utensils, and food itself. Combined with the multi-use utensil citation, which reflects the risk of bacterial biofilms developing on equipment that is not cleaned thoroughly, the follow-up inspection record at Bagelicious and More shows a facility that resolved the pest problem visible enough to trigger closure but still carried significant food safety gaps when inspectors returned.
The Longer Record
The September closure was not the first time regulators have ordered Bagelicious and More to shut its doors. State records show one prior emergency closure in the facility's history, making this the second such action against the Spring Hill restaurant.
Across 25 inspections on record, the facility has accumulated 96 total violations. The pattern in recent years shows a facility that can pass inspections cleanly and then accumulate serious violations within months. Between February and May of 2025, the restaurant logged three consecutive inspections with zero high-severity violations. By August 2025, it had four high-severity violations in a single visit.
That August 2025 inspection, with four high-severity findings, was the highest single-visit severity count in the recent record. The March 2026 inspection added three more high-severity violations before the September closure brought the pest activity that regulators deemed serious enough to require an immediate shutdown.
The gap between the clean inspections of early 2025 and the conditions found in August of that year is the sharpest illustration of what the cumulative record shows. This is not a facility with a single bad stretch. It is one that has cycled through compliance and violation across a documented history now spanning 25 inspections and two emergency closures.
Where Things Stand
Bagelicious and More was cleared to reopen on the morning of September 25, roughly 48 hours after inspectors ordered it closed. The follow-up inspection confirmed the pest conditions had been addressed.
Three high-severity violations, including the food condition, parasite destruction, and consumer advisory citations, remained on record as of that reopening inspection.
