Overview

VW Winn Dixie 2519 is a vended water facility in Bradenton operating under FDACS retail food oversight. The facility has 6 inspections on record since March 2023 with no documented violations across most inspections, though two stop-sale orders were issued on November 14, 2025 for adulterated products and improper date marking and disposition of time-temperature control foods. The first stop-sale order cited FS 500.04 for improper hot holding temperatures; the product was voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. The second stop-sale order cited FS 500 and FAC 5K-4 violations for improper date marking and disposition of ready-to-eat time-temperature control foods; disposition records indicate the product was removed. A November 2025 sanitation inspection documented four priority violations, all corrected on site during the inspection: cut watermelon stored at ambient temperature and not properly cooled (internal temperature 44°F to 45°F in retail cooler) was moved to walk-in cooler for rapid cooling; chicken tenders in the deli hot hold unit measured 130°F and 127°F (minimum required 135°F) were voluntarily discarded; and opened ham cut on November 8 and held beyond safe time parameters was voluntarily discarded. An earlier March 2023 inspection documented nine violations including hot-held chicken wings measured between 128°F and 130°F (wings were sold immediately before reheating could occur), shampoos and lotions stored with food items in the back area (corrected on site), and raw shell eggs stored with ready-to-eat foods in damage bins in the walk-in cooler prior to being scanned out. The most recent inspection on January 28, 2026 was a focused inspection with no violations documented.
