Overview

Discount Tobacco in Zellwood has been inspected 4 times since April 2023. The facility received 8 violations in April 2023 and 8 violations in December 2025, with no violations found during focused inspections in October and November 2024. The April 2023 inspection documented a high-priority violation for improper storage of raid bug killer beside pickled eggs and sugar in the warewash area, which was corrected during the inspection. Additional violations that year included food residue buildup on utensils used for pickled eggs and boiled peanuts, missing sanitizer test strips, no paper towels at the handwashing sink, and single-use items improperly stored in the handwashing sink — all corrected on site. The December 2025 inspection cited the facility for employee health policy gaps, noting that it could not be verified employees had been informed of foodborne illness reporting responsibilities and that the person in charge did not respond correctly to questions about preventing foodborne illness transmission. Sanitizer test strips were again absent and provided during that inspection. Hemp and kratom products were added to the food permit in November 2024 at the owner's request. Most violations across both inspections were corrected on site.
