Overview

The Fresh Market #0040 in Aventura had 4 inspections on record between October 2022 and May 2025, with a total of 9 violations documented. The facility experienced significant high-priority violations in October 2022, including sewage overflowing from a floor drain onto the food preparation area around the sushi processing station, which was serviced and repaired during the inspection. Raw sushi and diced raw salmon were stored directly above ready-to-eat items (wasabi and cream cheese) in a reach-in cooler, a cross-contamination violation corrected on site. Packaged sushi in the retail cooler registered temperatures between 43–44°F, below the 45°F minimum for time/temperature control foods; items were removed for proper cooling. A hand washing violation was also documented when a food employee failed to wash hands before donning gloves. A re-inspection in November 2022 verified that the cross-contamination and temperature issues had been resolved, though the facility lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events. A focused inspection in April 2024 found no violations. The most recent inspection on May 23, 2025 indicated the facility met sanitation inspection requirements with 2 violations that were corrected during the consultation visit.
