BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — There is no food issue at Firehouse Subs at 1920 NE 5th Avenue in Boca Raton, but managers and employees are apparently not trained in food safety. That’s the claim made by an inspector from the Florida Department of Business and Professional regulation who has referred the Firehouse Subs location for an “administrative complaint.”
Firehouse Subs was inspected on February 9, 2021, told to comply with Florida licensing rules, but had still apparently done nothing when it was re-inspected on April 29th.
The official language of the complaints filed just days ago:
“Intermediate – – From initial inspection : Intermediate – Manager or person in charge lacking proof of food manager certification. **Warning** – From follow-up inspection 2021-04-29: still no proof **Admin Complaint**”
“Intermediate – – From initial inspection : Intermediate – No proof of required state approved employee training provided for any employees. To order approved program food safety material, call DBPR contracted provider: Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association (SafeStaff) 866-372-7233. **Warning** – From follow-up inspection 2021-04-29: still no proof **Admin Complaint**”
The State of Florida requires food service providers to undergo food safety training. Florida DBPR has the authority to shut restaurants and food service providers that do no comply.
This location was ordered closed in June of 2019 for rodent activity. It was ordered to undergo “follow-up inspections” in August of 2019, November of 2019, February of 2021 and April of 2021. The current follow-up inspection is pending.
