Overview

Darwin Shell is a convenience store limited food service establishment in Lucie that received three inspections between January 30 and May 2, 2023. During the January 30 focused inspection, inspectors documented multiple temperature control violations and cross-contamination issues, citing raw bacon stored over ready-to-eat pickles and burritos in an open air display cooler, buffalo wings and chicken wings held between 102–129°F in a front counter hot case, and various ready-to-eat items including chicken salad and cheeseburger held between 46–51°F in an open air display cooler. The person in charge did not correctly respond to questions regarding management's food borne illness reporting responsibility. All items with temperature violations were voluntarily discarded during the inspection, and raw items were moved to proper storage locations. A re-inspection was ordered. The February 13 re-inspection verified compliance: raw bacon was relocated and hot-held items previously discarded were no longer on site, though the inspector again found buffalo wings, chicken wings, breaded wings, mini tacos and egg rolls between 100–122°F in the front counter hot case and ham, egg and cheese waffles between 130–132°F next to the roller grill, which were again voluntarily discarded. The establishment met inspection requirements on this follow-up visit. A focused inspection on May 2 with no violations documented and no further action indicated final compliance status.
