Star Food Mart in Perry
Last inspected:
1209 N Jefferson St, Perry, FL 32347Star Food Mart in Perry operated without a valid food permit across multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025. On September 15, 2025, the facility was subject to ten stop-sale orders: three for misbranded products that were voluntarily destroyed by management, and seven for controlled substances (products containing prohibited controlled substances under Florida Statutes Chapter 893) that were released to FDACS custody for transfer to law enforcement. A June 4, 2025 inspection identified 18 violations including priority food safety findings (mold on prepackaged cheese), poisoning/cross-contamination violations (bars of soap displayed above food), and systematic employee health policy gaps (employees not informed of illness reporting requirements, no written vomit/diarrhea procedures, missing thermometers and sanitizer test kits). The same employee health and temperature control violations appeared repeatedly across inspections in June 2024 and September 2023. A September 2023 inspection noted that raw eggs were stored over ready-to-eat juice and soap was displayed over food, both of which were corrected on site. The most recent September 2025 inspection documented the facility operating without a valid food permit and required the establishment to begin the permitting process within 10 days.
