Overview

Salt Springs Food Mart in Salt Springs, Marion County, is a convenience store that underwent inspection on August 21, 2025, and identified 15 violations during a sanitation inspection. The most significant findings included retail chemicals stored directly over marshmallows on a display shelf (corrected on site), a missing backflow prevention device on the mop sink faucet in the backroom, damaged beverages and cloth cleaning towels improperly stored around and inside the handwashing sink basin in the Subway processing area (corrected on site), and a nonfunctioning hot water supply at the restroom handwashing sink. The person in charge could not correctly respond to questions about the establishment's employee health policy and lacked written procedures for responding to vomitus or diarrhea discharge events; the inspector provided guidance documents for both issues.
