Part of: Circle K Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

VW Circle K in Seminole is a vended water facility with a single focused inspection on record in May 2025, during which no violations were documented. The inspection was conducted as part of a permit application to add hemp and kratom products to the facility's authorization; the inspector noted that the entity had no such products on-site at the time of inspection.

An earlier inspection on March 8, 2023, conducted as part of the initial food permit application process, documented five violations. A priority violation cited improper hot-holding temperature: chili and cheese held in a machine were observed at 109–110°F, below the required 135°F minimum, and the product was discarded on-site by the owner. Two priority foundation violations were also noted: open packages of ready-to-eat food in the back room walk-in cooler lacked proper date marking (the employee corrected this to a 7-day expiration on-site), and a backflow prevention device was missing from a threaded spigot at the rear of the building. A focused inspection in August 2023 related to Hurricane Idalia emergency response documentation recorded no violations. The facility's most recent inspection in May 2025 resulted in no violations.
