Overview

The Green Apple Health Foods in The Villages has been inspected 4 times since October 2022. The facility received a priority violation in October 2022 for poisonous or toxic materials stored over food products — bottles of soap and essential oils were shelved directly above packaged baking flour and organic powdered sugar, which staff immediately corrected during the inspection. The same October inspection documented absence of hot water at the hand sink and lack of a probe thermometer; the facility was given 30 days to install hot water and a mop sink. A focused inspection on November 3, 2022 verified progress, with staff confirming the hot water tank and mop sink installation would be completed by November 10. The most recent inspection on September 19, 2024 found one intermediate violation: a food temperature measuring device was not readily accessible. The establishment obtained a suitable probe thermometer by the end of that visit.
