7-eleven in Tampa
Last inspected:
17621 Bruce B Downs Blvd, Tampa, FL 33647Part of: 7-Eleven Florida health inspections, violations & closures
This 7-Eleven in Tampa has been subject to multiple enforcement actions centered on temperature control and equipment sanitation. A stop-use order issued December 18, 2024 for an unsanitary open-air cooler that could not maintain proper cold-holding temperatures led to a sequence of focused inspections and corrective actions. The same December 18 inspection documented 18 violations including cold-held milk measured at 47°F (minimum required 41°F), hot-held mini tacos at 130°F (minimum required 135°F), raw shell eggs stored above ready-to-eat foods, and expired date-marked creamer. An additional stop-use order on February 5, 2025 addressed unsanitary equipment surfaces. The facility corrected the cooler to hold foods at 41°F or below and had the equipment checked and released on February 5, 2025. A focused inspection on March 28, 2025 confirmed zero violations and verified updated water source documentation. The facility's six inspections on record between March 2023 and March 2025 show no violations recorded outside of the December 18 enforcement action and the January 29 repeat violation follow-up, indicating compliance was achieved after corrective measures were implemented.
