About this data: Results come from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation's public food service inspection records for Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties. The state posts inspections a few days after they happen, so this list may miss some late in the week. An emergency closure order is recommended when inspectors find conditions they consider an immediate threat to public health; the business stays closed until it passes a follow-up inspection. An inspection is a snapshot of one visit.
