Last inspected:

4150 9th Street Sw, Vero Beach, FL 32968

Part of: 7-Eleven Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

7-Eleven Store #41872A in Vero Beach has been inspected 3 times since May 2023, accumulating 20 violations across a range of operational and employee health concerns.

A stop-sale order issued June 27, 2025 required the immediate removal of time/temperature control for safety food due to improper date marking and disposition violations (FS 500; FAC 5K-4). The June 27, 2025 focused sanitation inspection documented critical deficiencies in hot-holding temperatures, food contact surface sanitation, and employee hand hygiene. Retail hot-case items including potato wedges, chicken kabobs, and chicken wings were measured at 107–125°F, well below the required 135°F minimum; all were reheated to 165°F or above during the visit. A pizza cutter with food debris and tongs covered in debris—both in service since 5:30 a.m.—were replaced with clean equipment. Date-marked ready-to-eat pico de gallo without documentation of opening date was discarded on site. Employees were observed moving from the cash register directly to handling ready-to-eat food without washing hands; hand washing was demonstrated during the inspection. The facility also lacked documented employee health reporting procedures and the person in charge was unable to answer questions about preventing disease transmission through food.

The January 7, 2026 follow-up inspection found continued deficiencies in employee health documentation, with the person in charge unable to verify that food employees had been informed of their responsibility to report health-related illnesses transmittable through food. Both inspections resulted in corrected-on-site resolutions for violations addressed during the visits.
