State inspection of a Hollywood grocer turned up mold on vegetables, and water and washing violations that took kitchen utensils and areas of the store out of action.
King’s Market, 2626 N 22nd Ave., found itself with numerous Stop Sale and Stop Use Orders from Florida Department of Agriculture Inspector Francis Odio.
Here’s some of what Odio found:
▪ Neither the backroom employee restroom nor the handwash sink near the three-compartment sink had hot water. The inspection says King’s has 30 days to correct that in the employee restroom.
▪ Water leaked from the left and right knobs of the handwash sink and the three-compartment sink’s pipes, cold water in both cases. King’s also came up short on drain plugs “available to wash, rinse, and sanitize” at the three-compartment sink.
Stop Use Orders came down on all food kitchen utensils and the entire food processing area.

▪ Marring a box of green beans in the backroom walk-in cooler were “white, mold-like substances.” Stop Sale on the box of green beans.
▪ Also in the backroom walk-in, undefined gallons of milk measured 48 degrees, when it needed to be 41 degrees. Stop Sale on the milk.
▪ If this makes you assume the walk-in itself might be a problem, that’s an accurate assumption and it goes beyond the missing floor tiles at the entrance and the back of the walk-in cooler. The “walk-in cooler was found with an ambient air temperature of 49 degrees and unable to maintain (time/temperature control for safety) foods at 41 degrees or below.”
Stop Use Order for the walk-in cooler.

▪ The store lacked the food safety basic of a probe thermometer “for assessing, receiving, and holding temperature control for safety foods.”
▪ The food processing area’s cutting board had “deep grooves/cuts and can no longer be effectively cleaned and sanitized.” Stop Use on the cutting board.
▪ “Soil and ice build-up found inside the reach-in freezer with ice cream” next to the register area.
▪ In the backroom and retail areas, there was an “accumulation of dust build-up on drink slides displaying beverages inside the walk-in cooler and retail reach-in coolers.”
Stop Sale Orders: Green beans, milk.
Stop Use Orders: All open food processing, all kitchen equipment and utensils, three-compartment sink, backroom walk-in cooler.
