Overview

Frontage Sunoco, a convenience store in Sebring, has been subject to multiple enforcement orders related to equipment and food safety violations. A stop-sale order issued December 17, 2025 required the voluntary destruction of adulterated time/temperature control food after cold-holding equipment failed to maintain proper temperatures. Two separate stop-use orders, issued December 17, 2025 and February 2, 2026, prohibited use of equipment due to unsanitary plumbing conditions and missing backflow prevention devices. An inspection on December 17, 2025 documented 11 violations including inadequate hot water at handwashing and deli sinks, missing backflow prevention on an exterior water faucet, lack of a food thermometer, improper date marking of ready-to-eat dairy creamer, and cold-held creamer measured at 44°F (required maximum 41°F). The facility was given 30 days to install hot water capability; a January 16, 2026 check-back inspection found the facility still awaiting installation of a hot water heater. A February 2, 2026 focused inspection confirmed equipment was repaired and released. The facility remains under administrative compliance review.
