7600 Gall Blvd, Zephyrhills, FL 33541

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

Overview

A stop-sale order issued October 28, 2025 required the voluntary destruction of adulterated time/temperature control for safety food after cold-holding temperatures exceeded 41°F. The facility has been inspected twice on record, with 15 total violations documented across both visits. The most recent inspection on October 28, 2025 identified 7 violations, including improperly stored coffee lattes measuring 46–47°F in a bulk dispenser, non-food gel and lotion products stored above single-use food items, and absence of a designated person in charge at the start of inspection. Five of these violations were corrected on site. A prior inspection on May 22, 2024 found 8 violations, including raw eggs stored directly above ready-to-eat pizzas, hot-held chicken wings measured at 120–127°F (below the required 135°F minimum), expired creamer in a dispenser, flying insects in the retail area and women's restroom, and a handwashing sink blocked by boxes and brooms. Six violations from that inspection were corrected during the visit. The facility's repeated temperature control and cross-contamination violations, coupled with pest activity and sanitation lapses, indicate ongoing compliance challenges despite corrective actions taken during inspections.
