Deerfield-News. com-Deerfield Beach, Fl-A recent DBPR inspection of the controversial Deerfield Beach Cafe was less than stellar. The Deerfield Beach Cafe which is tied up in litigation with the city of Deerfield Beach for failing to leave when their lease expired has recently filed for bankruptcy protection. By filing for Chapter 11 Deerfield Beach Cafe has only avoided the inevitable eviction from the city of Deerfield Beach which owns the building and property.

Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below. The department cites violations of Florida’s sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Food Code. 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. Intermediate violations are those which, if not addressed, could lead to risk factors that contribute to foodborne illness or injury. These violations include personnel training, documentation or record keeping and labeling. Basic violations are those which are considered best practices to implement. While most establishments correct all violations in a timely manner (often during the inspection), the division’s procedures are designed to compel compliance with all violations through follow-up visits, administration action or closure when necessary.
