Overview

Waco Food Store #0002 in Perry has been issued three stop orders across its 6-inspection record since March 2023. A stop-sale order issued March 24, 2025 required voluntary destruction of temperature-abused food items after an inspector found waffle batter, milk, chocolate milk, and cheese with internal temperatures ranging from 47–53 degrees Fahrenheit in a lowboy cooler, well above the required 41°F maximum. The same date, a stop-use order was issued for that lowboy cooler due to unsanitary equipment conditions. A second stop-use order issued August 21, 2025 required repair and release of unspecified equipment after sanitation deficiencies were documented.

The facility's violation history centers on temperature control and equipment cleanliness, with a pattern of cross-contamination risks. The March 24, 2025 inspection alone documented 12 violations including hot-held sausage patties at 109–116°F (minimum required 135°F), raw eggs stored above milk in coolers, and unclean food-contact surfaces including a can opener with old food residue. Multiple violations were corrected on site during inspections. The most recent inspection on August 21, 2025 was a focused inspection with inspector notes directing the facility to contact the Division of Business and Professional Regulation regarding Huddle House permitting.
