What the violations mean

Violation categories, explained

15 violations · 10 categories

Every violation on this record falls into one of the state's standardized categories. Here is what each category covers and why inspectors check for it — in plain English, with the trailing-year count for this kitchen.

Cleaning chemicals and other toxic substances must be labeled and stored away from food and prep surfaces. A mislabeled or badly placed chemical can end up in food, which is why inspectors treat this as high-priority.

On this record, the category appears in 1 of the 3 trailing-year inspections. The written details for each entry are in the state inspection documents linked above.

^† Item numbers refer to the State of Florida’s standardized inspection form; the same item recurring across visits indicates an unresolved problem. Severity groupings and the sanitation score are explained in How it works.
