Pure Ventures INC in Spring Hill
Last inspected:
2386 Commercial Way, Spring Hill, FL 34606Pure Ventures Inc in Spring Hill has two inspections on record. A September 2024 sanitation inspection documented five violations, including two priority-level findings: chemical spray bottles stored above food preparation sinks in the meat and vegetable prep area, and an employee observed not washing hands before donning gloves. Both issues were corrected on site. Two priority foundation violations involved missing raw seafood labeling (corrected by adding labels) and packaged meat, elk, and whole fish products lacking manufacturer or distributor information on retail packages (signage was added to the freezer). The inspector also noted the facility was planning to begin reduced oxygen packaging and directed the owner to submit a HACCP plan to Matt Johansson for approval before starting that process. An earlier July 2022 inspection cited 11 violations, predominantly priority foundation issues: the person in charge could not identify the six foodborne illnesses spread through food, the establishment lacked written procedures for responding to vomitus or diarrhea events, no probe thermometer was available for food temperature checks, no sanitizer test kits were on hand, and the three-compartment sink in the back room had no air gap from the sewage system. The facility received employee health guidelines during that inspection.
