One Polk County food vendor was shut down during the week from Feb. 5 to 11 for a variety of violations, including a lack of potable water, according to state inspection reports.
The Boricuazo Wings food truck, based at 1112 Mayflower Drive in Lakeland, was shut down Feb. 8 after it received nine violations, including two high priority and seven intermediate.
Among the high-priority violations, the inspector noted the truck had no potable running water in its tank and that the person in charge said the water was supposed to be delivered. The other high-priority violation was for operating with an expired license from the Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Its license had expired on Feb. 1, 2023, according to the report.
Among the seven intermediate violations, four were for training or certification issues. For instance, the manager lacked proof of certification. The vendor failed to provide proof of state-mandated training. It provided no proof that employees were told of their responsibility to report issues with their health or food-borne illnesses, and it had no written procedures for employees to follow in a vomiting or diarrheal event, according to the report.
