1520 Jackson Bluff Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32304Part of: Circle K Florida health inspections, violations & closures
Circle K #3890 in Tallahassee has received three stop-sale or stop-use orders since March 2025. A stop-use order issued March 28, 2025 cited unsanitary equipment (facility code FS 500.172) affecting physical facilities. On the same date, a stop-sale order required the voluntary destruction of adulterated time/temperature control for safety food after cold-holding temperatures were not maintained at 41°F or below; avocado dip, Lunchables, yogurt bars, and Hormel snack trays in the walk-in cooler registered internal temperatures between 42 and 44 degrees Fahrenheit. A second stop-use order issued April 29, 2025 for unsanitary equipment was resolved when equipment was obtained, repaired, replaced, checked, and released by the inspector; ambient air temperature in the walk-in cooler at that time measured 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
The facility's inspection record spans from October 2022 to April 2025. A sanitation inspection on March 28, 2025 documented 13 violations including high-priority cold-holding temperature failures, intermediate-level violations for missing employee health agreements, absent written procedures for time as a public health control, a mop sink lacking backflow prevention, and a men's restroom handwashing sink without soap. Most violations were corrected on site during the inspection. A prior sanitation inspection on October 12, 2022 cited seven violations involving improper storage of clean food bins, an unclean handwash sink, a wet mop not positioned for air-drying, and missing hand soap and paper towel dispensers in the men's restroom—all corrected during inspection. A focused inspection on July 18, 2023 resulted in zero violations. The most recent focused inspection on April 29, 2025 found zero violations.
