Copenhagen Cafe in Tarpon Springs

Last inspected:

15 N Pinellas Ave, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689
Overview

Copenhagen Cafe in Tarpon Springs was issued eight stop-sale orders on March 8, 2024 for labeling violations under Florida food law, with products manufactured by the establishment required to be removed from sale until corrected labeling was provided to FDACS inspectors. An additional stop-sale order on the same date cited adulterated time/temperature control food for improper cold-holding temperatures; the product was voluntarily destroyed by facility management and witnessed by the inspector. The facility operated without a valid food permit at the time of a February 2024 focused inspection triggered by consumer complaint and again at a prior February 2023 inspection that documented 11 violations, including raw eggs and raw salmon stored directly over ready-to-eat foods in refrigerated units, an unmarked marinara container held beyond safe time limits, employee health policy gaps, and handwashing sink access issues — all corrected on site during that inspection.
