Overview

Chevron Food Mart in Vero Beach is a convenience store licensed to sell packaged ice and food products containing hemp or cannabinoids. The facility has 2 inspections on record since July 2022. During a focused inspection on July 13, 2022, the establishment was found operating without a valid food permit and cited for 19 violations. An inspector observed tongs for hot dogs not being washed, rinsed, and sanitized every 4 hours after use — the facility corrected this on site by moving them to the ware wash area. Hand liquid soaps were stored directly over single-use sandwich bags on a retail shelf, creating a contamination risk; the facility immediately relocated all chemicals to proper storage. The person in charge could not correctly respond to questions about preventing transmission of foodborne illness and employee health reporting requirements. The facility lacked a thin probe thermometer for temperature control for safety foods and flies were observed throughout the food service area. The establishment was required to submit ice test results within 30 days to complete its permit application. A follow-up inspection on August 16, 2022 confirmed that all compliance issues had been resolved and the establishment met inspection requirements.
