A breakfast restaurant in Casselberry was forced to temporarily close its doors for multiple days after an inspector cited a multitude of health code violations, including the presence of nearly 100 flying insects.
The Breakfast Club of Casselberry, which is located at 3385 S Highway 17-92, Suite 189, was forced to close its doors from August 8 to August 11, according to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
During that span, four health inspections were conducted at the facility, with the restaurant failing all of them due to multiple high priority violations.
During the first inspection on Tuesday, August 8, at least 21 violations were cited, including three considered high priority. Among the high priority violations was the presence of small, flying insects.
The inspector notes that at least 30 flying insects were found on a wall in the kitchen, and another 20 were found on shelves in a storage area.
Additionally, the restaurant was cited for keeping food at temperatures that are greater than 41 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the highest allowable temperature. Those foods included cream cheese, which was being kept at 60 degrees, as well as multiple meats and other ingredients.
Two follow-up inspections were conducted on Wednesday, August 9, and yielded many of the same violations. Of note, multiple foods were still cited as being kept at too high of a temperature. Additionally, live, small flying insects were found during each inspection.
On Friday, August 11, the restaurant was inspected for a fourth time in the same week and once again, it was kept closed.
State records do not yet show that the business has been reinspected again since August 11, nor that it has reopened to the public.
