Score
Medium Risk

The health department has logged four inspections at Hershey's Ice Cream Tradition, the earliest from 2023. On Sep 19, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “no chemical test kit provided when using sanitizer” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Port St. Lucie restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
