Overview

Walmart #580 in Bartow had six inspections on record between May 2022 and November 2025, with one routine inspection documenting five violations and five focused inspections with no violations. The August 2, 2022 inspection found raw shrimp stored directly with cooked shrimp on the seafood cooler display shelf, cooked popcorn chicken held at 113°F instead of the required 135°F minimum, and opened deli meat packages not discarded after seven days. All three violations were corrected on site during the inspection—the raw shrimp was relocated, the popcorn chicken was voluntarily discarded, and the expired deli meat was removed.
