Overview

Pump&Munch, a convenience store with limited food service in Tampa, has been operating without a valid food permit and underwent two inspections within two weeks in March 2026. The first inspection on March 12 documented 12 violations, including a high-priority finding of rodent droppings observed on floors behind shelving and under the 3-compartment sink in the warewashing area, which the facility cleaned and sanitized during the inspection. That same inspection also cited improper chemical storage, with a large container of all-purpose cleaner held on a shelf directly over sodas; the chemical was relocated to proper storage on site. A follow-up inspection on March 26 found 9 violations, including repeat citations for the missing probe thermometer in the retail area, the lack of backflow prevention on the hose attached to the 3-compartment sink, the absence of an air gap at the 3-compartment sink, and missing soap and paper towels at the handwashing sink. The facility corrected the handwashing supplies and removed the hose from the 3-compartment sink faucet during the March 26 inspection. Both inspections were conducted under the operating-without-a-valid-permit framework, requiring the facility to meet all permitting requirements specified in Rule 5K-4.020, F.A.C. before a food permit could be issued.
