Sunstop Urban Market Establishment #: in Tallahassee
Last inspected:
619 S Woodward Ave # C117, Tallahassee, FL 32304Sunstop Urban Market in Tallahassee has experienced persistent ice machine contamination and chemical storage violations across six inspections since May 2022. A stop-use order issued December 9, 2024 documented that an ice sample collected November 4, 2024 tested positive for coliform contamination, rendering the ice adulterated. The facility was required to submit two consecutive negative test results to lift the order; documentation was provided by December 19, 2024 and the equipment was released. Two stop-sale orders issued November 5, 2025 required voluntary destruction of products for labeling and container requirement violations. Chemical storage violations—degreaser, sanitizer, and polish stored improperly near food, equipment, and single-service items—recurred across at least four inspections (May 2022, April 2023, December 2024, November 2025), with violations corrected on site each time. The facility's most recent inspection on November 5, 2025 documented seven violations including a repeat chemical storage violation in the handwash sink area, kitchen storage, and warewash area, and a missing written procedure for time as a public health control; all violations were corrected on site. The facility met sanitation inspection requirements at that inspection.
