FORT MYERS, FL. State inspectors cited McGregor Pizza Company on S Tamiami Trail for eight high-severity violations during the week of July 11, 2026, including food from an unapproved or unknown source, failure to follow parasite destruction procedures, food not cooked to required minimum temperatures, and no demonstrated allergen awareness among staff. It was the worst single-facility tally of the week, and it was matched by one other restaurant before the week was out.
The Week's Worst Findings
Speckled Egg on McGregor Boulevard also drew eight high-severity violations. Inspectors documented that an employee was not reporting symptoms of illness, that staff used improper handwashing technique, that toxic chemicals were improperly stored or labeled, and that no allergen awareness was demonstrated. The facility also failed parasite destruction procedures and misused time as a public health control.
Three Chinese restaurants each accumulated seven high-severity violations in the same week. No 1 Wok on Summerlin Road had no employee health policy, inadequate handwashing facilities, improper handwashing technique, and no allergen awareness, along with failures in parasite destruction and food contact surface sanitation. Inspectors also noted multi-use utensils not properly cleaned.
New Tasty Wok on S Pointe Boulevard drew the same seven-violation count, with inspectors finding no employee health policy, inadequate handwashing facilities, improperly stored toxic chemicals, and no consumer advisory posted for raw or undercooked foods.
China House on Alico Mission Way rounded out the trio, with inspectors citing no employee health policy, both inadequate handwashing by food employees and improper technique, failure to follow parasite destruction procedures, improperly sanitized food contact surfaces, and toxic chemicals improperly stored or labeled.
Nauti Parrot Oasis on S Tamiami Trail drew six high-severity violations, including the week's only citation for a person in charge not present or not performing duties. Inspectors also documented that employees were not reporting illness symptoms and that no consumer advisory existed for raw or undercooked foods. An intermediate violation for improper sewage or wastewater disposal was also recorded.
The week's remaining facilities each drew between two and four high-severity violations. Pei Wei Fresh Kitchen on Corporate Commerce Way was cited for food not cooked to required minimum temperature and toxic substances improperly identified, stored, or used, along with separately documented improperly stored or labeled chemicals and no consumer advisory.
Lazy Flamingo 4 on McGregor Boulevard had four high-severity violations including inadequate shell stock identification records and no consumer advisory for raw or undercooked foods, alongside four intermediate violations covering sewage disposal, utensil cleaning, sanitizer procedures, and toilet facility maintenance.
Blue Pointe Oyster Bar on US Highway 41 was cited for food from an unapproved or unknown source, an employee not reporting illness symptoms, and food contact surfaces not properly cleaned or sanitized. An intermediate violation for improper sewage or wastewater disposal was also noted.
Skillets on S Cleveland Avenue drew three high-severity violations, including food from an unapproved or unknown source and an employee not reporting illness symptoms. Krab Hut House on S Cleveland Avenue also drew three high-severity violations, with inspectors noting an employee not reporting illness symptoms alongside improper handwashing technique and unsanitary food contact surfaces.
Savour Coffee on S Tamiami Trail was cited for three high-severity violations, including failure to follow required procedures for specialized processes and no allergen awareness demonstrated. Spice Club India's Grill on S Tamiami Trail drew three high-severity violations for no employee health policy, improper handwashing technique, and no allergen awareness. Koko Chicken on S Tamiami Trail was cited for food not cooked to required minimum temperature and no allergen awareness, plus four intermediate violations. Buffet City on S Cleveland Avenue drew two high-severity violations for improper handwashing technique and food contact surfaces not properly cleaned or sanitized.
What These Violations Mean
Food from unapproved or unknown sources, cited at McGregor Pizza Company, Skillets, and Blue Pointe Oyster Bar, means the supply chain for those ingredients cannot be traced. If a customer gets sick, investigators cannot identify where the food came from, which farm processed it, or whether it ever passed a federal inspection. Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli have all been linked to uninspected food sources in past outbreaks.
The parasite destruction failures documented at McGregor Pizza Company, Speckled Egg, No 1 Wok, and China House carry a specific risk that most diners don't consider. Certain fish and pork products must be frozen to precise temperatures for specific durations before serving, or cooked to temperatures that kill parasites including Anisakis in fish and Trichinella in pork. When those steps are skipped, the parasites survive into the finished dish.
Allergen awareness failures, the single most common high-severity violation this week, appeared at McGregor Pizza Company, Speckled Egg, No 1 Wok, New Tasty Wok, Lazy Flamingo 4, Savour Coffee, Spice Club India's Grill, and Koko Chicken. The citation means staff could not demonstrate knowledge of the major food allergens or how to prevent cross-contact. For the roughly 32 million Americans with food allergies, a kitchen where no one can identify allergens is a kitchen where a life-threatening reaction can begin with a single order.
The illness-reporting failures at Speckled Egg, Nauti Parrot Oasis, Krab Hut House, Skillets, and Blue Pointe Oyster Bar represent a direct transmission pathway. Norovirus, the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States, spreads most efficiently when a symptomatic food worker continues handling food. A single infected employee can contaminate hundreds of meals before a single complaint is filed.
The Longer Record
New Tasty Wok on S Pointe Boulevard has 35 prior inspections on record, the second-highest count among this week's facilities, and still drew seven high-severity violations including the foundational failures of no employee health policy and inadequate handwashing infrastructure. Pei Wei Fresh Kitchen on Corporate Commerce Way has 39 prior inspections on record, the highest count of any facility cited this week, and was still found with food not cooked to required minimum temperature and toxic substances improperly stored.
Lazy Flamingo 4 carries 36 prior inspections and this week added four high-severity and four intermediate violations, including inadequate shell stock records and improper sewage disposal. Buffet City has 32 prior inspections and Speckled Egg has 31. All four of those facilities have been in the inspection system long enough that foundational violations, handwashing technique, surface sanitation, illness reporting, should not be appearing for the first time.
Savour Coffee presents a different concern. With only three prior inspections on record, it is among the newest facilities in this week's data and has already accumulated three high-severity violations, including failure to follow specialized process procedures. A coffee shop operating specialized food processes without following required protocols in its first few inspections is a pattern that warrants close follow-up.
McGregor Pizza Company has 17 prior inspections on record. This week's eight high-severity violations, including unapproved food sourcing and no shellfish traceability records, represent the most concentrated cluster of serious citations at any single facility during the week. Whether those violations were present in earlier inspections, and whether they were corrected, is not reflected in this week's data alone.
