Score
The health department has logged 11 inspections at Deli World, the earliest from 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Oct 22, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near four violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “no proof provided that food employees are informed”, which has been cited five times.
Compared to other Brooksville restaurants (averaging 90), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
