Last inspected:

450078 State Road 200, Callahan, FL 32011

Part of: Winn-Dixie Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

A stop-use order issued February 17, 2025 required the immediate removal of equipment from service at this Winn-Dixie location after an open-reach cold display case failed to maintain required temperatures. The facility was directed to repair or replace the equipment and request a written release from FDACS. On the same date, three stop-sale orders required the voluntary destruction of adulterated products: mold-like residue was observed on packaged sliced havarti cheese, and temperature-control violations were documented in packaged string cheese (46°F) and sliced deli meats (42°F–47°F), all below the 41°F minimum. The February 17 inspection also cited a hand-washing violation in the deli department where an employee donned gloves without washing hands first, corrected on site. A subsequent focused inspection on February 21, 2025 confirmed the cold display case was repaired and now maintained 41°F or lower, and a check-back release was issued. Inspections on May 5, 2026 and February 25, 2026 found zero violations.
