A roach on a cooler wasn't why a Miami 7-Eleven had to trash bacon and cheeseburgers
Inspectors put two coolers at a Miami 7-Eleven on the Do Not Use list and the trash was the new home for bacon, cheeseburgers, milk, Jamaican meat patties and other food in one of those coolers. Stop Sale and Stop Use Orders flowed freely from Florida Department of Agriculture Inspector Julio Azpura and inspector trainee Lourdes Chantez Tuesday at the downtown 7-Eleven on the corner of Northeast First Street and Second Avenue. READ MORE: Pepto Bismol in kitchen. Bugs in rice. Miami restaurants with over 30 violations ▪ 'Tongs used by customers to pick up hot dogs, cheese hamburgers, and a spatula for pizza, as well as tongs used by employees, were not cleaned and sanitized at least every four hours.' ▪ 'Roach crawling on the right side of a self-serve reach-in cooler.' ▪ But, the bigger problem with the reach-in cooler, which should be keeping food at 41 degrees or under, was it measured 44 to 48 degrees. A Stop Use Order came down on the unit. A barrage of Stop Sales sending all the food in the unit, including yogurt, sandwiches, raw bacon, cheese, watermelon and desserts, into the garbage. ▪ The walk-in cooler had the same problem. So, it makes sense that the milk measured a dangerously balmy 48 degrees and Jamaican beef patties and pizzas came in at 46 to 48 degrees. All that food got hit with Stop Sales. A Stop Use Order ended the cooler's day. READ MORE: Unsafe milk, tequeños and cheeseburgers among a Miami 7-Eleven's inspection problems ▪ The handwash sink next to a restroom lacked paper towels or any way to dry hands other than your shirt or flapping. Better than lacking hot water, the deficiency in a prep area handwash sink. ▪ A food service area handwash sink leaked when used. ▪ 'Food employees do not wear effective hair restraints while working with open food items.' READ MORE: Old food. Misplaced Butt Paste. Bakery roaches. A Broward Winn-Dixie had some issues ▪ The mop sink didn't have an appropriately installed backflow protection device, which is sort of a prophylactic protecting the sink and the room in case a sewage backup threatens to leave the place smelling like fertilizer. ▪ In the back area with that mop sink, 'Soil and food debris were on the floor under and around the reach-in freezers, under bag-in-box soda dispensers, near the warewash sink and underneath the display case.' ▪ No ingredients list — and, thus, no listing of possible allergens for folks with a food allergy — was available for pan de bono, guava pastelitos and other bakery items in the hot case.
