Overview

Busch Food Mart in Tampa was issued four stop-sale orders on October 27, 2025 for adulterated time/temperature control for safety foods. Two orders documented cold-held foods (including Rack Ribz Stacker sandwiches) maintained above 41°F, one documented hot-held foods (cheese burger at 123°F, sausage and double cheese sandwich at 113°F) below the required 135°F minimum, and one documented date-marking violations on ready-to-eat products. All products were voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by inspector. An October 27 inspection found 10 violations across equipment sanitation, temperature control, and handwashing infrastructure; the boiled peanuts scoop was not being cleaned every 4 hours, hot-case sandwiches and burgers were underheated, cold-held items exceeded safe temperatures, and coffee creamers lacked date marking. All violations were corrected on site or through product destruction. A September 9 inspection documented two repeat violations: unavailable toilet tissue and a sanitizer bucket blocking the handwashing sink; the bucket was removed during inspection. A January 6, 2026 focused inspection found zero violations and confirmed the establishment's kratom inventory complied with Florida hemp and kratom regulations.
