3525 N Us 221, Perry, FL 32347
Overview

Mahi9 Inc is a convenience store in Perry that has received 5 inspections since October 2022, with 24 total violations documented. The facility's most recent inspection on May 22, 2025 identified 6 violations, including storage of motor oil over single-service foil in the retail area—corrected on site—and systemic gaps in employee health documentation and written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events. The January 8, 2024 inspection documented 7 violations spanning poisonous materials storage (insect spray stored next to single-service items, corrected), lack of a certified food protection manager, and missing employee health policies and written response procedures. A critical temperature violation was recorded on October 20, 2022 when hot-held sausage patties and links measured 110–113°F instead of the required 135°F minimum; the sausages were voluntarily discarded during inspection. The facility has not had stop-sale orders issued and corrected violations on site during multiple inspections, indicating responsiveness to enforcement, but persistent gaps in employee health training documentation and written emergency response procedures across three separate inspections indicate an unresolved systemic management issue.
