  • RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
    61C-4.010: Sanitation and Safety Requirements
    The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants hereby gives notice:
    On January 19, 2012, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for a Routine Variance for Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2001 FDA Food Code and subsection 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, from Jax Market Place Take-Out #1 located in Jacksonville, FL. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that dishwashing facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils are provided. They are requesting to utilize dishwashing facilities located within another licensed establishment at the same location.
    The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 38, No. 5 on February 3, 2012. The Order for this Petition was signed on February 9, 2012, and after a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the dishwashing area located within Jax Market Place-Main Restaurant (SEA2609085) is maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and all sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and available during all hours of operation. If the ownership of Jax Market Place-Main Restaurant (SEA2609085) changes, the division must be notified immediately and a written agreement provided.
    A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:
