Overview

Highway 76 Food Mart, a convenience store in Stuart, had four inspections on record between August 2023 and October 2024. The facility received a focused inspection on July 9, 2024 that documented 12 violations, including a priority (P) hot-holding temperature violation where potato burritos held in a counter hot box measured between 120°F and 125°F instead of the required 135°F minimum; the burritos were reheated to 165°F during the inspection. The same inspection cited a priority violation for an employee not washing hands while handling multiple tasks and exposed foods — the inspector instructed handwashing during the visit — and a priority foundation violation for missing paper towels at a handwashing sink.
