Overview

Jeremiahs Italian Ice in Windermere holds a current sanitation inspection from September 16, 2026, with 11 violations cited.

Personal hygiene violations included an employee wearing rings while scooping exposed frozen desserts and another employee scooping frozen desserts with painted fingernails without gloves.

Equipment and sanitation issues included buildup of old food debris on a drink mixing machine wand (cleaned and sanitized before inspection completion) and absence of test strips to verify chlorine sanitizer concentration for food contact surfaces. Facility maintenance concerns noted flooring surrounding a center-room drain beginning to lift, creating potential pathways for moisture intrusion.

Chemical storage violations documented a blue cleaner spray bottle stored on a shelf under the service window near unwrapped single-use cups without proper labeling, stainless steel cleaner on a handwashing sink basin, and mold killer spray bottle hanging above a handwashing sink near clean equipment. The facility's written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrhea events lacked specifics on discarding exposed food, single-service items, and cleaning exposed equipment. The person in charge could not correctly answer all questions regarding foodborne disease prevention and employee health reporting responsibilities; educational materials were provided during the inspection. The facility met sanitation inspection requirements overall.
