Overview

Kwik Stop in Riviera Beach has operated under compliance challenges related to permit status, food storage safety, and ice manufacturing oversight. An inspection on January 6, 2023 documented 23 violations, including multiple priority findings: raw chicken stored directly above ready-to-eat vegetables in a reach-in cooler, raw shell eggs stored over ready-to-eat sausages and milk in a display cooler, a boil peanuts spoon not washed and sanitized every 4 hours, and a food employee not washing hands before food preparation. All violations were corrected on site during the inspection. The facility was operating without a valid food permit at that time and was directed to submit payment for permit application within 10 days; the inspector also noted the food establishment manufactures or sells products containing hemp, hemp extract, CBD, or other cannabinoids. A separate compliance issue involved ice testing — the facility was issued a deadline of February 14, 2023 to provide ice test results or face a stop-use or stop-sale order. The facility subsequently provided satisfactory ice test results on February 13, 2023, and the check-back requirement was removed. A focused inspection on June 20, 2023 documented one priority violation: raw fish stored above deli meats in a small reach-in cooler in the processing area. The containers were moved to proper storage during the visit. The facility has no record of stop-sale or stop-use orders being issued.
