Tennessee Chevron in Tallahassee

Last inspected:

5899 W Tennessee St, Tallahassee, FL 32304

Part of: Chevron Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Tennessee Chevron #5899 in Tallahassee has been subject to multiple enforcement actions centered on expired food permits and controlled hemp products. On December 11, 2024, FDACS issued nine stop-sale orders requiring seizure of hemp products and items with labeling violations; all products were released to FDACS custody for transfer to law enforcement. The facility has operated under an expired food permit continuously across six inspections from June 2024 through February 2025. Inspector notes from July, August, and September 2024 documented that hemp products placed under stop-sale on January 31, 2024 remained on-site months after the order was issued. The most recent inspection on February 20, 2025 found 12 violations including missing handwashing supplies (corrected on-site), no food thermometer, and employee health policy failures—the person in charge did not correctly answer questions about foodborne illness reporting and employees were not informed of their duty to report illness. The facility has recorded zero violations outside of permit and stop-sale enforcement.
