Overview

Chevron Food Mart in Tampa is operating without a valid food permit and received a stop-use order on December 16, 2025, after an inspection documented 14 violations. A stop-sale order required the voluntary destruction of hot-held fried chicken measured at 110°F, below the required 135°F minimum. Additional stop-use orders halted operations of a roller grill lacking sneeze guards and required removal of equipment due to unsanitary conditions and contamination prevention failures. A repeat violation cited the establishment for failing to provide wastewater documentation — sewage disposal through an approved facility could not be verified. The inspection notes indicate the facility must complete the permitting process within 10 days and obtain a food safety inspector's written release of all processing and food service equipment before resuming operations. The facility can request this release through the Florida Department of Agriculture's online permit portal or by contacting the Business Center at (850) 245-5520.
