The State of Florida on Tuesday shut down Andy D’s on Navarre Beach after the restaurant was issued three high-priority, one intermediate and eight basic violations during an inspection by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The DBPR website states operations were ordered stopped until violations are corrected.
High-priority violations are those which could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury and include items such as cooking, reheating, cooling and hand-washing, per DBPR.
DBPR’s report shows the restaurant was issued the following:
- High Priority – Live, small flying insects found;
- High Priority – Raw animal food stored over/not properly separated from ready-to-eat food;
- High Priority – Time/temperature control for safety food cold held at greater than 41 degrees Fahrenheit;
- Intermediate – Food-contact surface soiled with food debris, mold-like substance or slime;
- Basic – 8 violations
Andy D’s via social media initially stated “we have had to close the restaurant for maintenance,” claiming it would reopen this morning and neglecting to mention DBPR’s order for the facility stop operations until violations are corrected…
