3710 Sw College Rd Ste 100, Ocala, FL 34474FLAME in Ocala has documented serious and recurring food safety violations across ten inspections over approximately two years. The facility averaged 6.9 violations per inspection, slightly above the Florida statewide average of 5.2, but this aggregate masks a volatile compliance pattern.
