The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture  conducted an unannounced retail food inspection on 5/1/2020. As a result of that inspection, and due to the severity of the specific violations the 7-Eleven was cited as being, “Out of Compliance” with Pennsylvania food safety regulations. During this inspection a total of 2 violations were found.

The inspector made the following comments in support of the violations found during the inspection:

  • Non-food contact surfaces not cleaned at a frequency to preclude accumulation of dirt and soil. Observed an accumulation of static dust and debris on storage shelves in the walk in cooler.
  • Ice Machine, a food contact surface, was not clean to sight and touch. Observed an accumulation of black filth on the shield, ice tray, drip tray and tubing. Ice machine is to be emptied, cleaned and sanitized before use.
