Overview

Casey's Cove & 99 Cent Store, a convenience store in Steinhatchee, was inspected twice between August 2023 and April 2024. A focused inspection on August 31, 2023 in preparation for Hurricane Idalia found no violations. A follow-up inspection on April 15, 2024 responding to a consumer complaint (request #5111912) documented 19 violations, including multiple priority and priority foundation citations. Raw shell eggs were stored above raw shrimp in a deli refrigerator, creating cross-contamination risk; the eggs were relocated to the bottom shelf during the inspection. A spray bottle of quat sanitizer was stored on a food counter next to condiments, spices, and silverware, posing contamination risk; the sanitizer was moved to an appropriate chemical storage area during the inspection. The person in charge was unable to correctly answer questions about employee health policy, did not ensure employees understood their health reporting responsibilities in a verifiable manner, and could not produce sanitizer test strips to verify proper concentration. Both corrected-on-site violations were addressed during the inspection.
