Last inspected:

5401 N Military Trl, Riviera Beach, FL 33407

Part of: Dunkin Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Dunkin Donuts in Riviera Beach operated without a valid food permit during a January 9, 2023 inspection when inspectors documented multiple food safety violations. Five high-priority violations were cited that day: sausages held at 43–44°F in a cooler drawer when the minimum required temperature is 41°F, a quaternary sanitizer bucket testing above 500 ppm (exceeding safe levels), a bottle of sanitizer stored on the prep counter rather than in a designated chemical storage area, and employees not washing hands between handling the register, cell phone, and trash before working with exposed food or equipment. A person in charge was not designated at the start of inspection. All violations were corrected on site during the visit. A follow-up focused inspection on February 17, 2023 identified a repeat handwashing violation—an employee did not wash hands between operating the register and payment processing before handling exposed food and beverages—and a handwashing sink being used to dump milk, blocking its use for employee hand hygiene. The employee demonstrated proper handwashing technique during the inspection. All violations across both inspections were corrected on site.
