Overview

Winter Springs Food Market, a convenience store with packaged ice service in Winter Springs, received one inspection on record on May 10, 2023 that documented 13 violations. The inspection identified systemic management gaps: the manager was unable to answer questions about employee health policies, no written cleanup procedures were in place, and required food safety equipment was missing. Specifically, the facility lacked a tip-sensitive digital thermometer for verifying internal food temperatures during cooking and holding, and had no sanitizer test strips available in the backroom. Most critically, the food establishment could not provide current finished ice product test results and was given 30 days to submit documentation of satisfactory lab testing or face a potential stop-sale order on finished ice product. The inspection was flagged for follow-up verification of compliance with these requirements.
