The Issue The issue is whether Respondent is guilty of various violations of Florida statutes and rules in the operation of his restaurant and, if so, what penalty should be imposed.
Findings Of Fact Respondent holds license control number 46-04280R, which is in effect from December 1, 1999, through December 1, 2000. The license authorizes Respondent to operate a restaurant known as Speedy Two Shop at 2957 Martin L. King Boulevard in Fort Myers. Petitioner has previously disciplined Respondent. By Stipulation and Consent Order filed May 22, 1997, the parties agreed that Respondent would pay an administrative fine of $1100 and correct all violations by April 30, 1997. The Stipulation and Consent Order incorporates the findings of inspections on February 25 and March 7, 1997. These inspections uncovered seven violations, including missing hood filters over the cooking surface, heavy grease accumulations on the inside and outside of the hood, a fire extinguisher bearing an expired tag (May 1995), and operation without a license. In Petitioner's District 7, which includes Fort Myers, the licensing year for restaurants runs from December 1 to December 1. Respondent's relevant licensing history includes annual licenses for the periods ending December 1, 1997; December 1, 1998; and December 1, 1999. However, Respondent has operated his restaurant for substantial periods without a license. Respondent renewed his license ending in 1997 after four months of operating without a license, his license ending in 1998 after 17 months of operating without a license, his license ending in 1999 after six and one- half months of operating without a license, and his license ending in 2000 after one and one-half months of operating without a license. For each of these late renewals, Respondent paid a $100 delinquent fee. Petitioner conducts periodic inspections of restaurants. These inspections cover a broad range of health and safety conditions. Certain violations, as marked on the inspection forms, "are of critical concern and must be corrected immediately." This recommended order refers to such violations as "Critical Violations." On January 22, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted an inspection of Respondent's restaurant. The inspection uncovered seven Critical Violations. Two Critical Violations involved Respondent's compliance with licensing and training requirements. Respondent was operating the restaurant without a license, and no employee had a food manager's card, which evidences the successful completion of coursework and a test in managing a restaurant. The report warns that if Respondent did not renew his license before February 1, 1998, Petitioner would impose a fine and possibly revoke his license. The report requires Respondent to ensure that an employee obtains a food manager's card by March 3, 1998. Two Critical Violations involved Respondent's noncompliance with fire safety requirements. The fire extinguisher and built-in fire suppression system both bore outdated tags. The former tag expired in April 1997, and the latter tag expired in May 1997. The remaining three Critical Violations were that the restaurant lacked a filter in his hood over the stove, ceramic tiles over the three-compartment sink, and sanitizing solution in the bucket that was supposed to contain sanitizing solution. Respondent's employee explained that the hood filters were being cleaned, but apparently offered no explanation for the other two Critical Violations. Despite the specific warnings concerning the licensing and training violations, the January 1998 inspection report requires only that Respondent correct the violations by the next routine inspection. On March 26, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted an reinspection of Respondent's restaurant. The inspection uncovered the same Critical Violations, except for the sanitizing solution. The report states that Respondent must come to Petitioner's office in the next seven days to renew his license. On April 2, 1998, Petitioner served upon Respondent an Administrative Complaint alleging that, on January 1, 1998, Respondent was operating without a license. Neither this nor any subsequent charging document cites any of the other six Critical Violations found in the January 22, 1998, inspection as bases for discipline, so this recommended order treats these other violations as background, rather than as independent grounds for discipline. On June 30, 2000--over two years after issuing the Administrative Complaint--Petitioner transmitted the Administrative Complaint to the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) for the purpose of conducting a formal hearing, and DOAH assigned this case DOAH Case number 00-2694. On April 29, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted another reinspection. Upon identifying himself to Respondent's employee, the employee denied the inspector access to the premises and told him to return at 2:00 PM. The inspector replied that the reinspection would take only five minutes and that he could not return at 2:00 PM, but the employee continued to deny the inspector entry. On May 12, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted another reinspection and found the same seven Critical Violations present during the January 1998 inspection. New Critical Violations were the presence of one "small mouse and roaches" under the three-compartment sink and the presence of cooked sausage patties and links with an internal temperature too low to prevent the proliferation of bacteria. As for the food manager's card, Respondent told the inspector that he had left it at home. The report warns that Respondent must correct the violations by May 18, 2000, 8:00 AM. On September 29, 1998, Petitioner served upon Respondent a Notice to Show Cause alleging the violations found during the inspections of March 26, April 29, and May 12, 1998. On June 30, 2000--one year and nine months after issuing the Administrative Complaint--Petitioner transmitted the Administrative Complaint to DOAH for the purpose of conducting a formal hearing, and DOAH assigned this case DOAH Case number 00-2697. On July 31, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted another reinspection and found five of the same Critical Violations: operating without a license, no employee with a food manager's card, fire suppression system bearing an outdated tag, ceramic tile missing over the three-compartment sink, and heavy grease accumulation on the hood filters, which had been reinstalled. Petitioner never cited these five Critical Violations in any charging document, so this recommended order treats these other violations as background, rather than as independent grounds for discipline. On October 2, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted an inspection and found four of the original Critical Violations: no license, no employee with a food manager's card, no current tag on the fire suppression system, and no ceramic tile over the sink. Although the fire extinguisher was presumably current, it was improperly placed on the floor. Other Critical Violations included the storage of sausage at the improperly warm temperature of 51 degrees, the absence of a thermometer in the home-style refrigerator, the presence of rodent feces on the floor, the absence of working emergency lights, the absence of a catch pan in the hood system, a broken self-closer on the side door, a clogged hand sink, an extension cord serving a toaster, and the evident expansion of the restaurant without an approved plan. The report gives Respondent until October 9, 1998, at 11:00 AM to correct the violations. On October 12, 1998, Petitioner's inspector conducted a reinspection and found all of the Critical Violations cited in the preceding paragraph still uncorrected. On October 20, 1998, Petitioner served upon Respondent an Administrative Complaint alleging the violations found during the inspections of October 2 and 12, 1998. On June 30, 2000--one year and eight months after issuing the Administrative Complaint--Petitioner transmitted the Administrative Complaint to DOAH for the purpose of conducting a formal hearing, and DOAH assigned this case DOAH Case number 00-2695. For some reason, Petitioner neither prosecuted the pending charges nor conducted repeated inspections for several months after October 1998 inspections and Administrative Complaint. The next inspection of Respondent's restaurant took place on April 30, 1999. Despite the six and one-half months that Petitioner effectively gave Respondent to correct the numerous Critical Violations cited in the October 12, 1998, inspection, Respondent continued to violate many of the same provisions for which he had been cited throughout nearly all of 1998. The inspection report discloses that, again, Respondent was operating without a license. The report notes that he lacked a license for the licensing years ending in 1998 and 1999. One of Petitioner's inspectors testified that Respondent had been making progress on the licensing issue. However, the implication that Respondent was unable to pay the $190 licensing fee (usually accompanied by a $100 delinquent fee) is quietly rebutted by the notation, also in the April 30, 1999, report, that Respondent had completed the expansion project--still, without the required plan review. Again, no employee at the restaurant had a food manager's card. Again, the fire suppression system was in violation--this time because the indicator revealed that it needed to be recharged. Again, the hood filters were missing above the cooking surface. Again, the hand sink was inoperative- -this time, it was not only clogged, but it also lacked hot water. Again, emergency lighting was inoperative. Again, the ceramic tile was missing over the three-compartment sink. Again, food was maintained too warm in the refrigerator--this time, chicken was at 69 degrees. A new Critical Violation was the exposure of live electrical lines and insulation. The April 1999 inspection report gives Respondent until May 14, 1999, at 11:00 AM to correct the violations. On May 14, 1999, Petitioner's inspector conducted a reinspection and found that Respondent still had not obtained a license for the licensing year ending in 1999, still lacked an employee with a food manager's card, still had not obtained approval of its expansion plan, still lacked ceramic tile over the three-compartment sink, still had a clogged hand sink without hot water, still lacked working emergency lights, still tolerated exposed electrical line and insulation, and still lacked hood filters above the cooking surface. On June 2, 1999, Petitioner served upon Respondent an Administrative Complaint alleging the violations found during the inspections of April 20 and May 14, 1999. On June 30, 2000--one year and one month after issuing the Administrative Complaint-- Petitioner transmitted the Administrative Complaint to DOAH for the purpose of conducting a formal hearing, and DOAH assigned this case DOAH Case number 00-2696. Over a period of 16 months, Petitioner conducted eight inspections of Respondent's restaurant. On what would have been a ninth inspection, one of Respondent's employees denied access to the inspector. On each of these eight inspections, Respondent was operating without a license, lacked an employee with a food manager's card, and lacked ceramic tile over the three- compartment sink. On seven of these eight inspections, the fire suppression system was expired or discharged, and the hood filter was missing or excessive grease had accumulated on the filter or the liner. On three of these eight inspections, the fire extinguisher was outdated, and, on a fourth inspection, it was improperly stored on the floor. On three of these eight inspections, sausage or chicken was at improper temperatures--the 86 degrees at which sausage was served on one occasion was only 17 degrees warmer than the 69 degrees at which chicken was stored on another occasion. On three of these eight inspections, the hand sink was unusable because it was clogged or lacked hot water, the emergency lights did not work, and restaurant expansion was taking place or had taken place without review or approval of the plans. On two of these eight inspections, the inspector saw signs of rodents in the kitchen--one time actually seeing a small mouse. On two of these eight inspections, exposed electrical lines and insulation were present in the kitchen. Petitioner has proved by clear and convincing evidence that Respondent committed all of the cited violations. Uncorrected violations over 16 months amount to more than a failure to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that Petitioner gave Respondent to bring his restaurant into compliance. These uncorrected violations constitute a refusal to comply with the basic requirements ensuring the health and safety of the public. The penalty must weigh, among other things, Respondent's blatant disregard of fundamental requirements in licensing, training, and fire and food safety; Petitioner's demonstrated lack of diligence in enforcing Respondent's compliance with these requirements; and the peril posed by these failures upon the public health and safety.
Recommendation It is RECOMMENDED that the Division of Hotels and Restaurants enter a final order revoking Respondent's license. DONE AND ENTERED this 25th day of October, 2000, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. ROBERT E.

The Issue The issue in this case is whether on July 14, 2011, and October 13, 2011, Respondent was in compliance with food safety requirements of section 509.032, Florida Statutes, and implementing administrative rules of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and if not, what penalty is appropriate.
Findings Of Fact The Division of Hotels and Restaurants (Division) is responsible for monitoring all licensed food service establishments in the state to ensure that they comply with the standards set forth in relevant statutes and rules. Ms. Jessica Gabbard has been employed as a Sanitation and Safety Specialist with the Division for two years. She previously worked for the Department of Agriculture in the Bureau of Animal Disease Control for about eight years. She has had training, including monthly in-house training and field training in food inspection. She conducts between 600 and 800 inspections of food service establishments for safety and sanitation each year. Ms. Judy Hentges is a Senior Sanitation and Safety Specialist with the Division, where she has been employed for 12 years. She also has had training in food inspection, and conducts between 800 and 1000 inspections of food service establishments each year. Respondent is licensed as a permanent public food- service establishment operating as the Hong Yip Chinese Restaurant at 905 Southwest Main Boulevard, Lake City, Florida. As the hearing began, it became apparent that the owner of Respondent, Mr. Dong Jia Qi, who speaks very little English, was not present. Representing the restaurant was Mr. He Dong, manager of the restaurant, and son of the owner. Mr. Dong was present during the inspections that are the subject of this proceeding, interacted with Petitioner's agents on those occasions, and signed the inspection reports. Under all of the circumstances, including the fact that Mr. Dong demonstrated both knowledge of the applicable statutes and rules and the ability to capably and responsibly represent Respondent, Mr. Dong was accepted as both a Qualified Representative and as a witness. On July 14, 2011, Inspector Hentges conducted a food service inspection on Respondent. Inspector Hentges prepared an inspection report on her Personal Data Assistant (PDA) setting forth the violations that she observed during the inspection. During her July inspection, Ms. Hentges observed that Respondent was using dry, powdered food products that had been removed from their original containers and that the products' substitute working containers were not labeled with their common names. Storage of dry, powdered food products in unmarked working containers can cause mistakes in preparation that can be serious to consumers due to product allergies. The Division has determined such storage in working containers poses a significant threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and has identified this as a critical violation on the DBPR Form HR-5022-015, Food Service Inspection Report. Ms. Hentges observed during the July inspection that Respondent was storing rice and onions in uncovered containers in the walk-in cooler. DBPR Form HR-5022-015, Food Service Inspection Report, indicates that this is a critical violation. Uncovered containers can lead to food contamination by particles, by debris, and by microbes, and the Division of Hotels and Restaurants has determined that this constitutes a significant threat to the public health, safety and welfare. During the July inspection, Ms. Hentges observed a rice scoop on the buffet which was stored in standing water that was less than 135 degrees Fahrenheit, and noted this on the report. During the July inspection, Ms. Hentges also observed that a wet cloth used for wiping food spills from equipment surfaces was sitting on the counter and was not stored between uses in a chemical sanitizing solution, and noted this in her report. Wet wiping cloths can be breeding grounds for pathogens that can transfer to food. On October 13, 2011, Ms. Gabbard conducted a callback inspection on Respondent. She prepared a handwritten report on DBPR Form HR 5022-015 setting forth violations that she observed. Ms. Gabbard testified that she observed powdered food products at the cooking preparation line that had been removed from their original containers and placed in working containers not marked with their common names. She recorded this information in her report. Mr. Dong testified that he had corrected the labeling problem on the "big bucket" that stored the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and flours that had been written up in the July inspection. Mr. Dong testified that on the callback inspection the problem was written-up because of different products found in another area, on top of the reach-in cooler, in a see-through container containing peanuts, sesame seed, cashew nuts, and another Chinese product that is a dried root. Ms. Gabbard testified in cross-examination that she did not remember any nuts. Her report indicates "all powdered food products." The report further indicates this violation was "at cookline prepline." Ms. Gabbard's testimony is credited. The unlabeled products Ms. Gabbard observed and noted in her violations report were powdered products at the cookline that could easily be confused, not foods that could be easily and unmistakably recognized, such as peanuts, cashews, and sesame seeds on top of the reach-in cooler. Ms. Gabbard observed uncovered rice and onions in the walk-in cooler. She recorded this in her report. Mr. Dong provided no contradictory testimony at hearing. Respondent did testify that that the film he used to cover the rice and onions did not stick on the aluminum containers used to store the food. Ms. Gabbard observed a rice scoop at the buffet that was being kept in standing water which was less than 135 degrees Fahrenheit, noting this fact in her report. She took the temperature of the water and recorded that it was 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Mr. Dong testified that that they always keep ice in the water to keep it below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. He testified that the water had just been changed so that the ice may have just melted, though he thought ice was still present. He acknowledged that the water was 45 degrees Fahrenheit as measured with the thermometer. Mr. Dong's testimony that he recently put ice in the container is credible, and the temperature of the water would have been room temperature if this had not been done. The water in which the rice scoop at the buffet line was being stored was 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Ms. Gabbard also observed wet wiping cloths that were not being stored in sanitizing solution between uses, but were located in multiple locations on the counter. She recorded this in her report at the time of the inspection. Mr. Dong admitted the violation at the time of the July inspection. He testified that at the time of the callback inspection in October he was using one cloth and the rest were not in use, but had been cleaned and were hanging on the table to dry. In response, Ms. Gabbard testified that there were multiple cloths around the restaurant laying on the counter. Her testimony was corroborated by her inspection report, prepared at the time of the inspection, which noted, "[o]bserved wet wiping cloth not stored in sanitizing solution between uses. Repeat violation. Located in multiple locations on counter." Mr. Dong's testimony on this violation was less credible than Inspector Gabbard's, and her testimony is credited. The wet wiping cloths had not been cleaned, but had been used, and were not being stored between uses in a chemical sanitizer. Petitioner issued an Administrative Complaint against Respondent for the above violations on October 24, 2011. Additional evidence introduced at hearing showed that Respondent has had five previous disciplinary Final Orders entered within 24 months of the Administrative Complaint issued in this case. In the first Stipulation and Consent Order, signed by Mr. Dong on October 20, 2009, and filed on December 3, 2009, Respondent agreed to pay a fine of $500.00, but did not admit nor deny the allegations of fact contained in the Administrative Complaint, which would have constituted critical violations. In the second Stipulation and Consent Order, signed by Mr. Dong on January 8, 2010, and entered on March 2, 2010, Respondent agreed to pay a fine of $650.00, but again did not admit or deny the allegations of fact contained in the Administrative Complaint, some of which would have constituted critical violations. In the third Stipulation and Consent Order, signed by Mr. Dong on an unknown date, and entered on May 31, 2011, Respondent agreed to a suspension of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants license for one day. Respondent did not admit or deny the allegations of fact contained in the Administrative Complaint, which would have constituted critical violations. In the fourth Stipulation and Consent Order, signed by Mr. Dong on an unknown date, and entered on May 31, 2011, Respondent agreed to a suspension of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants license for one day. Respondent did not admit or deny the allegations of fact contained in the Administrative Complaint, which would have constituted a critical violation. In the fifth Stipulation and Consent Order, signed by Mr. Dong on an unknown date, and entered on May 31, 2011, Respondent agreed to a suspension of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants license for one day. Respondent did not admit or deny the allegations of fact contained in the Administrative Complaint, which would have constituted critical violations.
Recommendation Upon consideration of the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, enter a Final Order: Dismissing Counts 2 and 6 of the Administrative Complaint and Finding the Hong Yip Chinese Restaurant in violation of two critical and two non-critical violations and suspending its license for three consecutive days beginning the first Monday after 40 days from the date the final order becomes effective. DONE AND ENTERED this 6th day of November, 2012, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. S F. SCOTT BOYD Administrative Law Judge Division of Administrative Hearings The DeSoto Building 1230 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3060 (850) 488-9675 Fax Filing (850) 921-6847 www.doah.state.fl.us Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 6th day of November, 2012.
The Issue The issues in this disciplinary proceeding arise from Petitioner's allegation that Respondent, a licensed restaurant, violated several rules and a statutory provision governing food service establishments. If Petitioner proves one or more of the alleged violations, then it will be necessary to consider whether penalties should be imposed on Respondent.
Findings Of Fact The Division is the State agency charged with regulation of hotels and restaurants pursuant to chapter 509, Florida Statutes. At all times material to this case, Respondent was a restaurant operating at 3582 West Broward Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and holding food service license number 1621408. On October 17, 2012, and December 17, 2012, Respondent was inspected by Maor Avizohar, a sanitation and safety specialist employed by the Division. During both visits, Mr. Avizohar noticed several items that were not in compliance with the laws which govern the facilities and operations of licensed restaurants. Through the testimony of Mr. Avizohar and the exhibits introduced into evidence during the final hearing, the Division presented clear and convincing evidence that, as of December 17, 2012, the following deficiencies subsisted at Respondent's facility: (1) an employee handwash station incapable of providing water at a temperature of at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit, in violation of Food Code Rule 5-202.12; and (2) the storage of in-use utensils in standing water less than 135 degrees Fahrenheit, contrary to Food Code Rule 3-304.12(F).3/ The deficiency relating to the lack of hot water at the handwash station is considered a critical violation by the Division. Critical food code violations are those that, if uncorrected, present an immediate threat to public safety.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Division of Hotels and Restaurants enter a final order: finding Respondent guilty of Counts One and Two, as charged in the Administrative Complaint; dismissing Count Three of the Administrative Complaint; and ordering Respondent to pay an administrative penalty in the amount of $300, to be paid within 30 days after the filing of the final order with the agency clerk. DONE AND ENTERED this 13th day of August, 2013, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. S Edward T.

The Issue Whether Respondent committed the violations alleged in the Administrative Complaint dated May 23, 2011, and if so, whether disciplinary action should be taken against Respondent.
Findings Of Fact The Department is a state agency charged with the duty and responsibility of regulating the operation of hotel and restaurant establishments pursuant to section 20.165 and chapter 509, Florida Statutes. Respondent is a Florida corporation named Stugotz, Inc., doing business as Joey's On Beach. The corporation is wholly owned by Joseph Di Meglio. Respondent holds a public food establishment license issued by the Department. Respondent's business address is 2521 Thomas Drive, Unit A, Panama City Beach, Florida 32408. Inspector Smith has been employed by the Department as a Sanitation and Safety Specialist for approximately five years. She has received training in laws and rules regarding public food service and lodging, is a certified food manager, and performs approximately 1,000 inspections each year for the Department. Formerly, Inspector Smith was a restaurant manager for 15 years. On March 2, 2011, Inspector Smith performed a food service inspection of Joey's On Beach located at 2521 Thomas Drive, Unit A, Panama City Beach, Florida 32408. During the inspection, Inspector Smith prepared and signed an inspection report on her electronic personal data assistant setting forth violations she allegedly encountered during the inspection. Ann Marie Di Meglio, the wife of the owner of Joey's On Beach, was present during the inspection and signed the report on the electronic device. According to the inspection report, the March 2, 2011 inspection of Joey's On Beach occurred at 11:11 a.m. Joey's On Beach opens at 11:00 a.m. The inspection occurred during active food preparation. Inspector Smith made the Respondent aware that all violations noted during the inspection needed to be corrected by May 2, 2011. All of the pages of the three-page March 2, 2011, inspection report are prefaced with the heading "FOOD SERVICE INSPECTION REPORT LEGAL NOTICE" with the warning that "Failure to comply with this Notice may initiate an administrative complaint that may result in suspension or revocation of your license and fines." The third page of the March 2nd report set forth alleged violations as follows: Warning(s) 12A-09-1: Observed food employee wearing jewelry other than a plain ring on their hands/arms while preparing food. 22-25-1: Observed buildup of soiled material on mixer head. 08A-28-11: Observed bag if [sic] bread crumbs on foor [sic] in walkin cooler. 08A-29-1: Observed sauce and bread crumbs uncoverd [sic] in walkin cooler. 02-22-1: Ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on site and held more than 24 hours with not properly date marked. Sausage 08A-23-1: Observed shell eggs over sausage in walkin cooler 08A-28-1: Observed jug of oil stored on the floor. 53B-08-1: No proof of required employee training provided. All public food service establishments must provide the division with proof of employee training upon request, including, but not limited to, at the time of any division inspection of the establishment. This violation must be corrected by: 5/2/11. 32-16-1: Hand wash sink lacking proper hand drying provisions. Corrected on site. 09-04-1: Observed bare hand contact of ready-to-eat food by employees and establishment has no approved Alternative Operating Procedure in effect. Corrected On Site. On May 3, 2011, Inspector Smith performed a callback inspection of Joey's On Beach. According to the report, the inspection was performed at 10:18 a.m. Respondent had not yet opened for business and the callback inspection was conducted during active food preparation. During the callback inspection, Inspector Smith did not discuss specifics of the case with the owner, Joseph Di Meglio, because, according to Inspector Smith, inspectors are "not allowed to discuss the case at an inspection." Inspector Smith prepared and signed a two-page report for the May 3rd callback inspection on her electronic personal data assistant indicating that some of the violations noted on the March 2, 2011, inspection report had not been corrected. Mr. Di Meglio signed the May 3, 2011, inspection report. Both pages of the May 3 inspection report had the same "Legal Notice" as the earlier report, stating "Failure to comply with this Notice may initiate an administrative complaint that may result in suspension or revocation of your license and fines." Alleged uncorrected violations recommended for an administrative complaint were noted on the May 3 inspection report as follows: The following item(s) have been recommended for Administrative Complaint: Violation 53B-08-1 No proof of required employee training provided. All public food service establishments must provide the division with proof of employee training upon request, including, but not limited to, at the time of any division inspection of the establishment. This violation must be corrected by: 5/2/11. At callback no training provided for Ann Marie. Violation 22-25-1 Observed buildup of soiled material on mixer head. Violation 08A-29-1 Observed sauce and breadcrumbs uncovered in walkin cooler Violation 08A-28-1 Observed bag if [sic] breadcrumbs on floor in walkin cooler Violation 02-22-1 Ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on site and held more than 24 hours with not properly date marked, sausage, and at callback sausage and meat balls not date marked in walkin cooler The Administrative Complaint in this case charged Respondent with the same five alleged violations recommended in the May 3rd callback inspection report, in the following order (Counts 1 through 5): (1) Observed ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on site and held more than 24 hours with not properly date marked in walk-in cooler [referencing 02-22-1, and citing 3-501.17(A), Food Code]; (2) Observed bag of bread crumbs on floor in walk-in cooler [referencing 08A-28-1, and citing 3-305.11, Food Code]; (3) Observed sauce and break [sic] crumbs uncovered in walk-in cooler [referencing 08A-29-1, and citing 3-302.11A)(4), Food Code]; (4) Observed build up of soiled material on mixer head [referencing 22-25-1, and citing 4-601.11(A), Food Code]; and (5) Observed no proof of required training provided, at call back no training provided for Ann Marie [referencing 53B-08-1, and citing 509.049, Florida Statutes]. At the final hearing, the Department announced that Count 5 of the Administrative Complaint, alleging a lack of training in violation of section 509.049, Florida Statutes, had been dropped because Mr. Di Meglio had established to the Department's satisfaction that Respondent's employees were properly trained. The Department presented some evidence in support of the remaining allegations. As discussed below, however, the Department only met its burden of persuasion as to Count 2 alleging that breadcrumbs were improperly stored in an open container on the floor of the walk-in cooler. As to Count 1 of the Administrative Complaint, at the final hearing, Inspector Smith referred to both inspection reports and observed that the reports indicated that Respondent had failed to properly date mark ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food (sausage and meatballs) held on site for more than 24 hours in the walk-in cooler. She explained that such failure was a critical violation because food must be date- marked to indicate the day it was prepared, and the day that it expires. She further explained that potential hazardous foods, such as precooked sausage and meatballs, are only good for seven days from the date prepared. Respondent's witness, Ann Marie Di Meglio, works at the restaurant and was there when the first inspection took place. Her husband, Mr. Di Meglio, was not. According to Ms. Di Meglio, it is Respondent's procedure to date-mark the containers in the walk-in cooler. She further testified that at the time of the inspection, there was active preparation, and it is hard to keep things covered during active preparation. Mr. Di Meglio, through his testimony, further explained that they date-marked the covers of the sausage and other prepared foods in the cooler, but remove the lids to gain access to the food during active preparation. He testified that there were labels on the lids of the sausage and meatball containers at the time of the inspections, but that the lids had been set aside because of preparation. Inspector Smith suggested that she would have cited the sausage and meatball containers for being open, but could not recall whether they were open or not. She did not see the labels on the lids. There were no photographs or specific descriptions of the containers or observations by Inspector Smith. During the final hearing, when asked whether there were dates on the lids of the containers, Inspector Smith testified, "I can't answer that because I'm not there. I didn't write anything about it being uncovered." Based upon the explanations provided by the Di Meglios, the timing of the inspections, the lack of specific recollection by Inspector Smith, and considering that the Department has the burden of persuasion, it is found that the Department did not prove that Respondent failed to properly date its containers of potentially hazardous foods as alleged in Count 1 of the Administrative Complaint. As to Count 2, Inspector Smith stated in both the March 2 and May 3, 2011, inspection reports that she observed an open bag of breadcrumbs stored on the floor in Respondent's walk-in cooler. Storage of breadcrumbs on the floor in an open container is a critical violation because when food is stored on the floor, it can become contaminated by exposure to wastewater or germs from walking back and forth outside to the bathroom. While perhaps an open container could be explained by the fact that there was active food preparation, no excuse or explanation was offered as why an open bag of breadcrumbs was found on the floor during both inspections. Respondent's witnesses did not otherwise address the improper storage of breadcrumbs on the floor as alleged in Count 2 of the Administrative Complaint. As to Count 3 relating to the open containers of breadcrumbs and sauce, it is found that Respondent's explanation of active food preparation was reasonable given the timing of the inspections. In other words, the Department failed to prove that Respondent was storing foods in open containers because it is found that the containers were only opened temporarily during active food preparation.3/ As to Count 4, relating to an alleged dirty mixer head, the inspection reports for both the March 2 and May 3, 2011, inspections indicate there was a "buildup of soiled material on mixer head." While Ms. Di Meglio testified that she did not know if there was something on the mixer head at the time of the inspections, she testified that the mixer is cleaned every day, and that the material on the mixer head, if any, was not old. Rather, she explained, she had used the mixer around 10:00 a.m. the very morning of the first inspection to make dough and cut cheese. Ms. Di Meglio further explained that Respondent's mixer is very old and has some discoloration. And, while admitting that there may have been some dust or flour on the mixer from recent use, both she and her husband denied that there was any soil on the mixer or the mixer head. Inspector Smith's testimony regarding the state of the mixer, and the brief descriptions in the inspection reports referring to "soiled material" on the mixer head, without more, provided less than clear and convincing evidence of a violation. While Inspector Smith testified that she would not cite the equipment as being dirty if it was soiled with everyday use dirt, she was unable to definitively recall her observations. When questioned about the mixer head at the final hearing, Inspector Smith observed: I just noted that it was extremely2/ soiled when I was there at the initial inspection and at the callback. Not the top, but the mixer head being - - that goes over the unit, from what I can remember. When further asked to explain the difference between "soiled" and "dusty," Inspector Smith testified: It was all food debris with - - I mean, I just remember it just being soiled. It was over a year ago. I can't describe in detail what was on it. I would not cite it unless it was old food debris, or it was mold-like substance maybe with a combination. I don't cite everyday dirt. Considering Inspector Smith's less than specific recall, Respondent's explanation, and the Department's lack of specific details or photographs contrary to the testimony of Respondent's employees, it is found that the Department failed to prove the violation alleged in Count 4 of the Administrative Complaint. While the inspection reports were accepted into evidence as corroborative hearsay, it is found that, under the facts and circumstances, they are documents prepared in anticipation of litigation.4/ Specifically, the reports contain warnings and requirements of compliance, with specific mention of the fact that failure to comply may "initiate a complaint." Moreover, the evidence showed that the investigator could not discuss the allegations with Respondent's owner because inspectors are "not allowed to discuss the case at an inspection." Even if the inspection reports were not merely hearsay, their lack of detail when compared to the recollections of Respondent's employees regarding operations and the state of affairs during the inspections, was insufficient to meet the Department's burden of persuasion necessary to prove Counts 1, 3, and 4 of the Administrative Complaint. Count 2 of the Administrative Complaint alleging improper storage of bread crumbs on the floor, however, was uncontroverted, and the Department proved by clear and convincing evidence that Respondent's improper storage of bread crumbs was a critical violation.5/
Recommendation Upon consideration of the facts found and conclusions of law reached, it is RECOMMENDED that the Department enter a final order which dismisses Counts 1, 3, 4, and 5 and confirms Count 2 of the Administrative Complaint, and imposes an administrative penalty in the amount of $250 for Respondent's critical violation of Rule 3-305.11, relating to improper storage of breadcrumbs discovered during the inspections conducted on March 2 and May 3, 2011.

Findings Of Fact Petitioner is the State agency charged with regulation of hotels and restaurants pursuant to Chapter 509, Florida Statutes. At all times material to this case, Respondent was a restaurant operating at 16850 Collins Avenue, Golden Beach, Florida, and holding food service license number 2326334. On February 26, 2008, and April 29, 2008, Respondent was inspected by Ricardo Unold, a Senior Sanitation and Safety Specialist with the Division. During both visits, Mr. Unold noticed several items that were not in compliance with the laws which govern the facilities and operations of licensed restaurants. Through the testimony of Mr. Unold and the exhibits introduced into evidence during the final hearing, Petitioner presented clear and convincing evidence that as of April 29, 2008, the following deficiencies subsisted at Respondent New San Telmo: (1) In-use utensils stored in standing water less than 135 degrees Fahrenheit, in violation of Food Code2 Rule 3- 304.12(F); (2) The public bathroom was not equipped with a tight-fitting, self-closing door, in violation of Food Code Rule 6-202.14 and Florida Administrative Code Rule 61C-1.004(2)(b); (3) An unlabeled spray bottle, in violation of Food Code Rule 7- 102.11; and (4) No proof of required employee training, in violation of Section 509.049, Florida Statutes. The deficiencies relating to the lack of proof of employee training, the unlabeled spray bottle, and the bathroom door are all considered critical violations by the Division. Critical food code violations are those that, if uncorrected, present an immediate threat to public safety. The final deficiency (storing in-use utensils in water less than 135 degrees Fahrenheit), while not categorized as a critical violation, is serious nonetheless because it directly relates to food preparation.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Division enter a final order: (a) finding Respondent guilty in accordance with the foregoing Recommended Order; and (b) ordering Respondent to pay an administrative penalty in the amount of $1400, to be paid within 30 days after the filing of the final order with the agency clerk.

Findings Of Fact The Division is the State agency charged with regulation of hotels and restaurants pursuant to chapter 509, Florida Statutes. At all times material to this case, Respondent was a restaurant operating at 3100 Northwest 17th Avenue, Miami, Florida, and holding food service license number 2328990. On May 19, 2010, and July 23, 2010, Respondent was inspected by Reginald Garcia, a sanitation and safety specialist employed by the Division. During both visits, Mr. Garcia noticed multiple items that were not in compliance with the laws which govern the facilities and operations of licensed restaurants. Through the testimony of Mr. Garcia and the exhibits introduced into evidence during the final hearing, the Division presented clear and convincing evidence that as of July 23, 2010, the following deficiencies subsisted at Respondent Alma Caribe Café Restaurant: (1) potentially hazardous food held at a temperature greater than 41 degrees Fahrenheit, contrary to Food Code Rule 3-501.16(A); (2) potentially hazardous food not cooled from 135 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit within six hours, in violation of Food Code Rule 3-501.14(A); (3) holding equipment incapable of maintaining potentially hazardous food at proper temperatures, in violation of Food Code Rule 4-301.11; (4) raw food stored over cooked food, contrary to Food Code Rule 3- 302.11(A)(1); and (5) no proof of required employee training, in violation of section 509.049, Florida Statutes. Each of the foregoing deficiencies is considered a critical violation by the Division. Critical food code violations are those that, if uncorrected, present an immediate threat to public safety.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Division of Hotels and Restaurants enter a final order: (a) finding Respondent guilty in accordance with the foregoing Recommended Order; and (b) ordering Respondent to pay an administrative penalty in the amount of $1250, to be paid within 30 days after the filing of the final order with the agency clerk.

The Issue The issue presented is whether Respondent is guilty of the allegations in the Administrative Complaint filed against it, and, if so, the appropriate penalty to be imposed, if any.
Findings Of Fact At all times material hereto, Respondent, Perpulys Sport Bar and Restaurant, has been licensed as a public food service establishment by Petitioner, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Respondent is located in Homestead, Florida. Michael Brown, one of Petitioner's inspectors, has extensive experience and education in the food service industry. On July 19, 2006, he inspected Respondent's premises and found a number of violations of public food service establishment rules. He noted these on his inspection report and gave a copy of the report to Respondent. The report noted that the violations must be corrected by August 20, 2006. On August 21, 2006, Brown returned to Respondent's premises to conduct his "callback" inspection. Four critical item violations remained uncorrected, and he noted them in his report. After he had completed his report, one of Respondent's employees placed a thermometer in the cold holding unit which had lacked one during Brown's inspection. However, the exit signs were still not properly illuminated. Exit signs in a food service establishment are required to be clearly illuminated so that patrons will know where to exit the premises if a fire or other emergency should occur. Improperly illuminated exit signs are a critical item violation. Respondent's employees were still touching ready-to-eat food with their bare hands even though the establishment did not have in place an alternative operating procedure approved by Petitioner. Since touching ready-to-eat food with bare hands can lead to serious illness of the business' patrons, this is also a critical item violation. During that same call-back inspection, raw animal food was stored over ready-to-eat food, specifically, raw steak was stored over cooked shrimp. Since such storage can lead to cross-contamination, which can lead to serious illness of the business' patrons, this is also a critical item violation.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that a final order be entered finding Respondent guilty of three critical item violations, imposing a fine of $1,500 to be paid within 30 days, and requiring Respondent to attend an educational program sponsored by the Hospitality Education Program.

The Issue The issue is whether Respondent violated provisions of the Food Code and, if so, should be penalized for such violations. For the reasons set forth below, Respondent has committed violations for which he should be penalized.
Findings Of Fact At all times material to this matter, Respondent was licensed as a public food establishment in the State of Florida by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants (Department). Respondent's business address is 963 North Suncoast Boulevard, Crystal River, Florida. Petitioner's witness, Jill Craig, is employed by the Department as a senior sanitation safety specialist at 1313 North Tampa Street, Tampa, Florida 33602. Inspector Craig has worked for the Department in her current capacity for five years. Prior to working for the Department, Inspector Craig worked as a food server, prep cook, managed a grocery store, and performed housing inspections for the Department of Health in Indiana. Upon coming to work at the Department, Inspector Craig was versed in the Food Code, trained on the laws and rules pertaining to public food and lodging establishments, trained in Hazardous Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and became a certified food manager. Inspector Craig continues to receive training on a monthly basis. She performs about 1,500 food service inspections a year. "Critical violations" are those that are likely to result in food-borne illness or environmental degradation. "Non-critical violations" are minor issues that are not classified as critical violations. Inspection reports are electronically prepared on a personal data assistant by the inspector. On October 26, 2009, Inspector Craig performed a routine food service inspection of Olive Tree Restaurant, Respondent's place of business. During the inspection, Inspector Craig prepared and signed an inspection report setting forth the violations she encountered during the inspection. On the date of that inspection, Inspector Craig notified Respondent about the violations. Respondent's representative, Manny Kokkolis, signed the inspection report. The inspector also informed Mr. Kokkolis that all of the violations would have to be corrected by December 28, 2009. On January 21, 2010, Inspector Craig performed a callback inspection of Olive Tree Restaurant. During the inspection, she prepared and signed an inspection report indicating that some of the violations had not been corrected. On the date of the callback inspection, Inspector Craig made Respondent aware of the violations that had not been corrected, and Respondent's representative, Caitlin Tellier, signed the inspection report. Based on the violations that had not been corrected, the inspector recommended an administrative complaint be issued against Respondent. The most serious violation observed during the October 26, 2009, and January 21, 2010, inspections was no certified food manager on duty with four or more employees engaged in food preparation. This is a critical violation because public food service establishments are required to have a certified food service manager on site when four or more employees are engaged in food preparation to oversee the employees and ensure compliance with the laws and rules relating to public food safety. Respondent admitted there was no certified food manager on duty when Inspector Craig made her two visits to Respondent's food service establishment. The next most serious violation observed during the two inspections was food stored on the floor in the dry storage area. This is a critical violation because packaged food must be stored at least six inches above the floor to prevent contamination by pathogens. Respondent testified that cases of food may have been placed on the ground after delivery and had not been there long. However, Food Code Rule 3-305.11 requires food to be protected from contamination at all times by storing the food at least six inches above the floor. The next most serious violations observed during the two inspections were accumulation of food residue on the reach-in freezer and soiled reach-in cooler and freezer gaskets. These are critical violations as well because pathogens on the food contact surface can contaminate the food product. Respondent testified that the refrigerator and gaskets acquire a build-up of mold, despite his efforts to keep them clean. He noted that the mold and residue was on the outside of the freezer and cooler. He also testified that following the callback visit by Inspector Craig, he had an additional two employees certified to handle food and supervise those who are handling food. The final three violations were all deemed non- critical by Inspector Craig. The first concerned the storage of bakery pan liners on the floor in the dry storage area. This is non-critical, but single serve articles can become contaminated before their intended use if exposed to pathogens like those found on the restaurant's floor. The second non-critical violation observed by Inspector Craig was the build-up of a mold-like substance on the surface of the mop sink. Although non-critical, the objective of cleaning is sanitization and that objective is not met when the mop sink is encrusted with mold. The final non-critical violation observed by Inspector Craig was that the floor and wall junctures were not coved.
Recommendation Based upon the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that Petitioner enter a final order imposing a penalty in the amount of $250 for the critical violation concerning Respondent's failure to have a certified food manager on duty; $250 for the critical violation of storing food on the floor in the dry storage area; $250 for the critical violation of food residue on the freezer and cooler gaskets; $150 for the non-critical violation of storing bakery pan liners on the floor in the dry storage area; $150 for the non-critical violation of allowing a mold-like build-up on the mop sink; and $150 for the non-critical violation of not having the floor and wall junctures coved. The total fine in the amount of $1,200 shall be paid to the Division of Hotels and Restaurants within 30 days of the entry of its final order.

The Issue Whether New Roseau Restaurant (New Roseau), a licensed restaurant, committed the violations alleged in the Administrative Complaint, and, if so, what disciplinary action should be taken against New Roseau.
Findings Of Fact The Division is the State agency charged with regulation of hotels and restaurants pursuant to chapter 509, Florida Statutes. At all times material to this case, New Roseau was licensed as a public food service establishment, with the following business address: 1180 Northwest 119th Street, Miami, Florida 33168. On April 10, 2013, and August 21, 2013, New Roseau was inspected by Dominique Adam, a sanitation and safety specialist with the Division. During both visits, Mr. Adam noticed items that were not in compliance with the laws which govern the facilities and operations of licensed restaurants. Through the testimony of Mr. Adam and the exhibits introduced into evidence during the final hearing, the Division presented clear and convincing evidence that, as of August 21, 2013, the following deficiencies subsisted at New Roseau: (1) no proof of at least one certified food manager, in violation of section 509.039, Florida Statutes; (2) no proof of required state-approved employee training for its employees, in violation of section 509.049(5), Florida Statutes. Both of these deficiencies, pursuant to Florida Administrative Code Rule 61C-1.005, are characterized as intermediate violations. New Roseau is a third or subsequent offender due to the filing of two disciplinary Final Orders within twenty-four months preceding the Administrative Complaint in the present case.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Division of Hotels and Restaurants enter a final order finding New Roseau guilty of both counts in the Administrative Complaint, and ordering New Roseau to pay an administrative penalty in the amount of $1,600.00, to be paid within 30 days after the filing of the final order with the agency clerk.
