, FL. The back room at Jayboy's #2 had a direct connection between the sewage system and the three-compartment sink, according to state inspectors who visited the convenience store on September 29, 2026. That single finding, buried near the end of a ten-violation inspection report, describes a condition that puts any surface washed in that sink at risk of contamination from raw sewage.
The inspection was triggered by the store's failure to renew its food permit on time. What inspectors found once inside went well beyond a paperwork lapse.
What Inspectors Found
The sewage connection was not the only infrastructure problem in the back room. The handwashing sink next to that same three-compartment sink was blocked, meaning employees could not use it. Inspectors noted the person in charge could not provide employee illness reporting responsibilities in a verifiable manner and also could not correctly answer questions about preventing foodborne illness.
No probe thermometer was available during the inspection. No chemical test strips were on hand to measure sanitizer concentration in the wash water. Both are basic requirements for any food establishment.
Frozen flavor pops on the sales floor were missing manufacturing information and were pulled from sale during the inspection.
The Kratom Problem
The store was selling food products containing kratom extract without being designated as a kratom food establishment under its permit. That is a separate violation from the labeling problems, and it means the store was operating in a category its permit did not cover.
The kratom labeling violation is marked repeat. Inspectors found the same problem on a prior visit: kratom products in the retail area were not labeled with the alkaloid ratio requirement under Florida emergency rule 5KER26-11. No sign was posted adjacent to the kratom display stating that sale to persons under 21 is prohibited and that proof of age is required. The store posted the age restriction sign during the inspection, but the alkaloid ratio labeling on the products themselves remained out of compliance.
The store corrected zero of the ten violations on site, with the limited exception of the age restriction sign posting and the removal of the unlabeled frozen pops.
What These Violations Mean
A direct connection between a sewage system and a three-compartment sink is not a minor code technicality. That sink is where food-contact surfaces, utensils, and equipment get washed. A direct sewage connection means wastewater from the sewer line can backflow into the same basin used to clean those items. Anything washed in that sink after a backflow event carries contamination forward to every surface it touches.
The blocked handwashing sink compounds that risk. When the only accessible handwashing station in a work area is obstructed, employees preparing or handling food cannot wash their hands between tasks. The person in charge at Jayboy's #2 was unable to demonstrate knowledge of either employee illness reporting or foodborne illness prevention, which means there is no reliable check on those practices even when the sinks are clear.
The kratom violations carry a different kind of public health concern. Florida's emergency rule requiring alkaloid ratio labeling exists so that consumers know the concentration of active compounds in what they are buying. Kratom products vary widely in potency, and without that labeling, a customer has no way to assess what they are purchasing. Selling kratom extract products under a permit that does not authorize that activity means the store was not subject to the oversight that designation requires.
The frozen pops pulled from sale were missing basic manufacturing information, meaning there was no way to trace them to a source if a customer became ill.
The Longer Record
The inspection on September 29 was classified as a failure-to-renew permit inspection, meaning the store had already missed the deadline to keep its food permit current before inspectors arrived. The kratom labeling violation being marked repeat confirms inspectors had cited the same issue at Jayboy's #2 before this visit.
A store that has already been told its kratom products lack required labeling and returns to the next inspection with the same unlabeled products on the shelf is not correcting the problem between visits. The repeat designation is the record's way of showing that.
None of the ten violations cited on September 29 were corrected on site during the inspection, with the narrow exceptions of the age restriction sign and the removal of the unlabeled frozen pops. The sewage connection in the back room, the blocked handwashing sink, the missing thermometer, the missing test strips, and the store's operation outside the scope of its permit all remained unresolved when the inspector left.
