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

Overview

Circle K #5989 in Tallahassee received a sanitation inspection on May 29, 2025 that identified five violations, all of which were corrected on site during the inspection. The violations included a quaternary ammonia sanitizer in the warewash area that exceeded the proper concentration — the inspector documented it was registered in excess of 400ppm when the requirement is approximately 200ppm, and staff drained and remade the sanitizer at the correct level. A handwashing sink in the warewash area was blocked by a rack, which was relocated to an appropriate location, and the retail handwash sink lacked a hand drying device, which was remedied with the provision of paper towels. The facility's three prior inspections on record, conducted in June 2022, July 2023, and September 2023, yielded no violations.
