What the violations mean

Violation categories, explained

5 violations · 4 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.

Menus must warn diners about raw or undercooked items, and ready-to-eat food must be labeled and date-marked so the kitchen knows how long it has been held. Inspectors check because food kept past its safe window can grow bacteria without any change in look or smell.

On this record, the category appears in 1 of the 1 trailing-year inspection. 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.
