Ramys Mini Market in Palm Bay

Last inspected:

1506 Water Dr Ne, Palm Bay, FL 32905
Overview

Ramys Mini Market in Palm Bay operated without a valid food permit during an inspection on December 12, 2022. The facility was cited for a priority violation involving raw shell eggs stored directly over ready-to-eat food in the backroom refrigerator, which management relocated during the inspection. Hot-held shrimp empanadas measured 129°F and chicken empanadas 125°F in a hot holding box—below the required 135°F minimum—prompting the inspector to heat all products to 165°F and increase the temperature on the hot holding case. The facility also lacked hand cleanser and hand drying devices at the food prep handwashing sink (both provided during inspection), had no written procedures for employees to follow during bodily fluid cleanup events, and the person in charge did not correctly respond to employee health policy questions. No further inspection records are available.
