Overview

Racetrac #0682 in North Port has been subject to two stop-use orders for unsanitary equipment violations. A stop-use order issued September 11, 2024 addressed a sandwich display cooler failing to maintain time-temperature controlled foods at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below; during a November 20, 2024 follow-up inspection, the facility was observed continuing to use the cooler to display TCS foods with the stop-use tag removed, though the cooler had since been repaired and was maintaining proper temperature. A second stop-use order issued November 20, 2024 for the same equipment was subsequently released due to a documentation error. The facility's September 11, 2024 inspection documented seven violations including a repeat cold-holding temperature violation (cheese held at 44°F in the walk-in cooler) and a live animal violation (customer with a dog in the retail area). The facility's five inspections between September 2023 and February 2025 also included two focused sample collection inspections with no violations. The most recent inspection on February 24, 2025 was a focused inspection with zero violations.
