Overview

Quick Mart in Tampa operates a vended water machine and has received a stop-use order dated March 10, 2025 for warewashing facility violations involving the absence of test strips and improper equipment maintenance under Florida Food Law (FS 500; FAC 5K-4). The equipment was removed from service. The facility's compliance history shows significant early violations in March 2023, including 18 citations covering raw animal food separation, missing documentation for microbial water analysis, absence of a three-compartment sink, lack of written procedures for vomiting and diarrheal events, and missing sanitizer test strips. A Priority violation documented raw shell eggs and bacon stored directly over ready-to-eat foods in the walk-in cooler; management reorganized the shelf on site to place raw animal products on the bottom. A dented can of food was voluntarily discarded. An initial inspection in March 2023 confirmed coliform and fecal coliform testing deficiencies; the establishment was given 30 days to provide satisfactory microbial analysis results and 90 days to install a three-compartment sink or face administrative action. A follow-up focused inspection in March 2023 verified that the water microbial analysis report had been obtained. The March 10, 2025 inspection noted that a check-back release for the stop-use order (originally issued June 1, 2023) was issued, and the establishment provided hemp extract age restriction signage and updated its permit type from limited food service to prepackaged food service only. The two most recent inspections on June 20, 2025 and August 5, 2025 recorded zero violations.
