Donna’s Jamaican and Caribbean Restaurant, a popular Plantation eatery known for its lively atmosphere and authentic Caribbean dishes, recently faced a follow-up inspection by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.
A routine inspection was conducted on August 2, 2024, which resulted in seven violations, including four high-priority infractions.
The Broward County restaurant received an administrative complaint recommendation and was required to undergo a follow-up inspection. Despite the violations, the establishment wasn’t temporarily closed.
What Happened During The Violations: High-priority violations included live, small flying insects in the restroom area, and temperature control issues with several food items.
The inspector also issued a stop sale on time/temperature control for safety foods due to incorrect temperature settings. Gungo peas, cow foot, and tripe were found at temperatures above the safe 41°F threshold.
Intermediate violations involved wrong date marking of ready-to-eat foods. On the basic level, equipment and utensils weren’t properly air-dried, and the equipment used for wiping cloths wasn’t at the correct level. On the bright side, some violations were corrected on-site.
