Planet Smoothie in Orlando
4104 Millenia Blvd Ste 110, Orlando, FL 32839
Planet Smoothie in Orlando received two stop-use orders within six days in November 2025, both citing unsanitary equipment and plumbing system violations. A stop-use order issued November 19, 2025 required the utility sink in the processing area to be repaired after its spray nozzle hung below rim level, creating a backflow contamination risk. The facility obtained and repaired the equipment, and the order was released following an inspector visit on November 25, 2025. The November 19 inspection documented 13 violations across priority and priority foundation categories, including a priority violation for poisonous materials improperly stored next to clean utensils at the three-compartment sink (corrected on site), a direct connection between the warewashing sink and sewage system, the person in charge unable to correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention, and a handwashing sink blocked by a storage rack (corrected on site). Across four inspections between September 2024 and November 2025, the facility accumulated 14 total violations with recurring plumbing and equipment sanitation issues. The most recent focused inspection on November 25, 2025 confirmed the stop-use order release with zero violations.
