Below is a list of places that were inspected last week by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Inside Sawgrass Mills Mall, SushiGami uses the conveyer belt sushi concept, in which the food is placed on different colored plates representing their prices as they move along the conveyor belt throughout the dining area.
They were ordered shut last week due to a fly and roach issue.
An inspector also saw a “live insect” in the flour at Beach Pizza in Fort Lauderdale and a live fly landing on cooked beef at Paraiso Tropical in the Country Club of Miami area.
Some places were not ordered shut even though they had insect issues.
The department has discretion on which establishments are ordered shut and which are not, and it should NOT be that way.
All the places that were ordered shut were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and re-inspection.
