Overview

God Gift, a convenience store limited food service establishment in Tallahassee, has 6 inspections on record between May 2023 and February 2026, with 22 total violations and zero stop-sale or stop-use orders. The facility has demonstrated responsiveness to citations, with multiple violations corrected on site during inspections. Employee health policy violations—specifically failure to inform employees of their obligation to report foodborne illness to the person in charge—appeared in four consecutive inspections from May 2023 through December 2025, indicating a systemic compliance gap. A high-priority temperature control violation was documented on May 12, 2023, when boiled peanuts held for retail sale measured 133°F, below the required 135°F minimum; the product was voluntarily discarded. Additional recurring findings included lack of written procedures for responding to vomit or diarrheal events (cited three times between May 2023 and December 2025) and handwashing sink accessibility issues (cited twice). A focused inspection on January 22, 2026 verified kratom labeling compliance under Emergency Rule 5KER25-6, and a follow-up check conducted on February 20, 2026 confirmed no kratom product was on site; this inspection met sanitation requirements with zero violations.
