In the lone high-priority violation, an inspector noted nine live roaches \u2013 one in a soap dispenser next to the three-compartment sink, six on the side of a reach-in cooler and two on the dishwasher. There was one intermediate violation for no paper towels or hand-drying device at the handwash sink. And there were four basic violations, among them: A cutting board had cut marks and was no longer cleanable, the floor under kitchen equipment was soiled, an in-use ice cream scoop stored on a soiled surface between uses, and food debris on shelves in the sushi area and sides of kitchen equipment. In a follow-up inspection the next day, the restaurant passed with zero violations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restaurant has a history of meeting standards. The last time it received violations that required follow-up was April 2022, and before that, twice in 2018. Since then, it has met standards on initial inspections 10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wendy&#8217;s Hamburgers #598, 1910 W. Memorial Blvd., Lakeland<\/strong>: On April 15, the restaurant, which is undergoing heavy remodeling, was temporarily closed for two construction-related violations, both deemed basic. In one violation, the inside bathroom was not available to customers or employees during the remodel. A portable toilet was available in the parking lot, but no handwash sink was available. The other violation was for \u201cfood stored in a location that is exposed to splash or dust\u201d \u2013 in this case the front counter exposed to dining room remodeling. Management covered the opening with plastic. In a follow-up later the same day, the restaurant passed with zero violations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before April 15, the restaurant met standards in 23 straight inspections dating to 2012, which is as far back as its state reports go. It is the only time the restaurant failed to meet standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The restaurants that were temporarily closed The restaurant has a history of meeting standards.
