Kwick Stop in Tallahassee
Last inspected:
4004 Jackson Bluff Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32304Kwick Stop in Tallahassee has been the subject of four stop-sale orders issued on February 3, 2026, all for labeling violations under Florida Food Law. All products were voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. The facility has recorded eight inspections since October 2022, with a cumulative 29 violations documented. High-priority violations have been recurring and specific: raw animal foods stored directly over ready-to-eat items appeared in inspections on September 28, 2023, December 26, 2024, and February 3, 2026; equipment food-contact surfaces for time/temperature control foods not properly cleaned were cited on December 26, 2024 and September 28, 2023; and handwashing sink deficiencies (missing hot water, missing hand-drying devices) were documented across multiple inspections. Intermediate-priority violations have included a direct connection between the warewash sink drain and the sewerage system cited in three separate inspections (September 2023, December 2024, February 2026), absence of written vomitus and diarrhea response procedures cited twice (December 2024, February 2026), and food temperature measuring devices that could not properly register cold-holding temperatures cited in both December 2024 and September 2023. Most violations have been corrected on site during inspections. The facility was operating without a valid food permit at the time of a focused inspection on October 12, 2022, and the owner subsequently requested a permit increase to sell hemp and kratom products as noted during the December 26, 2024 inspection. The most recent inspection on February 3, 2026 resulted in the facility meeting sanitation inspection requirements with eight violations documented, four of which were corrected on site.
