Kpop Food in Tampa

KPOP Food in Tampa has recorded 8 inspections between August 2023 and December 2025, totaling 59 violations — an average of 7.4 violations per inspection, significantly above Florida's statewide average of 5.2. The facility has never been emergency-closed. High-priority violations have been recurrent across nearly every inspection, with employee health policy violations cited in 5 of 8 inspections, proper hand and arm washing violations in 6 of 8, and shell stock requirement violations in 5 of 8. Additional recurring high-priority findings include allergen awareness violations (3 inspections), chemical storage violations (3 inspections), and employee health reporting violations (3 inspections). The most recent inspection on December 18, 2025 identified 21 violations and was completed with no further action, though the violation count represents the highest single-inspection total on record. Prior to this, an inspection on December 10, 2024 resulted in a Warning Issued disposition after 10 violations were found. The pattern of repeated high-priority violations across multiple inspections, combined with the escalation to Warning Issued dispositions, indicates systemic management issues with employee health protocols, hand washing procedures, and shellfish handling requirements.
