Part of: Sunoco Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Sunoco 13, a convenience store in Tallahassee, was issued a stop-use order on July 1, 2022 prohibiting the storage of temperature-controlled foods in a small reach-in cooler due to unsanitary equipment conditions. The facility was also operating without a valid food permit at that time. A subsequent focused inspection on July 8, 2022 released the ice machine from the stop-use order after cleaning and sanitization, but the cooler restriction remained in effect due to an ambient temperature of 49 degrees Fahrenheit. On May 30, 2025, a sanitation inspection cited five violations, all of which were corrected on site during the inspection: toxic materials (caulk and hand soap) stored directly over single-use cups were relocated, a temperature-measuring probe thermometer was acquired, and a hand-drying device was provided at the warewash sink. The facility lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrhea events; guidance documentation was present but procedures were not formally documented.
