Overview

Mochinut Seffner in Seffner has experienced two significant enforcement actions involving food safety violations and controlled substance concerns. A stop-sale order issued October 17, 2025 required the destruction of time/temperature control products found at improper cold holding temperatures; the establishment voluntarily destroyed the affected items under inspector supervision. A prior stop-sale order from December 3, 2024 involved controlled substances (FS 893.03(1)(c)) and was released to FDACS and law enforcement custody.

The facility's inspection history reflects serious compliance gaps. An October 17, 2025 operating permit inspection documented 17 violations, including multiple priority-level findings: raw eggs stored above ready-to-eat cheese and kimchi in a reach-in cooler; an automatic air freshener spray positioned over flour bins and another above chips; and cold-held mochnut products measured below required temperature. The inspector noted several violations were corrected on site, including egg relocation, air freshener repositioning, and date marking of hotdogs. An April 27, 2023 inspection found the establishment operating without a valid food permit and cited 7 violations including absence of hot water for handwashing and three-compartment sinks, no sanitizer test kit, and a direct connection between sewage and equipment drains — conditions serious enough to trigger a stop-use order for all food service equipment. A focused inspection on April 1, 2026 found no violations and noted that issues from a prior complaint were addressed.
