The restaurant, The Egg Station at 1625 Shepherd Road, Lakeland, also had the most number of violations — seven in total — but met standards in the end. The single insect was a high-priority violation. Another high-priority violation was for operating on a license that expired on Feb. 1. Among two intermediate violations, the inspector noted no hand-drying towels or devices and no water of at least 85 degrees at the handwash sink. And the restaurant received three basic violations: a broken toilet seat; a case of blueberries stored on the floor of the walk-in freezer; and a back door propped open.
Mamas Soul Food Lakeland, 518 Memorial Blvd., Lakeland: On June 11, the restaurant had four violations, two of them high-priority. Among those, one was for raw eggs stored over ready-to-eat cheesecake in a reach-in cooler (the operator moved the eggs to the bottom). The other was for chicken being held at greater than 41 degrees – in this case, 90 degrees (the operator moved the chicken to a freezer). The other two violations were intermediate: one for meatloaf and vegetables that were held in the walk-in cooler for more than 24 hours without a proper date mark; the other for lacking proof of required state-approved food-safety training for employees. A warning was issued and a follow-up was required.
