NoticeEach inspection report is a “snapshot” of conditions present at the time of the inspection. On any given day Sonic Drive-In #4361, Melbourne may have fewer or more violations than noted in their most recent inspection. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at Sonic Drive-In #4361, Melbourne.

A summary of violations found during inspections are listed in the Food Service Inspection boxes above. Cited are violations of Florida's sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code.

In general, critical violations are those that, if not corrected, are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination, illness or environmental damage. Although the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) use the industry-standard term "critical", varying degrees of severity and potential risk to the public require inspectors to assess each situation in determining the appropriate action. In addition, while Sonic Drive-In #4361, Melbourne may have multiple violations, the inspectors' training and judgment formulate the overall result of the inspection to ensure the public health and safety.

Noncritical violations do not directly relate to foodborne illness risk, but are preventive measures that include practices and procedures which effectively control environmental conditions. Left uncorrected, noncritical violations can undermine the overall food safety program of an establishment and lead to the development of critical violations.

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.

Violations listed refer to the revelant section of Florida regulation that has been observed to be deficient during the inspection. Each establishment must comply with the language of the inspection statement. For purposes of enforcement and compliance, the DBPR recognizes the status as printed on the inspection form, although the severity of the violation observed may warrant additional action regardless of its "critical/noncritical" designation.
