Overview

Dollar General #7049 in Cantonment has been inspected twice on record, in November 2022 and May 2025, with a combined 16 violations. The facility is a minor outlet with perishables under FDACS regulation. Both inspections resulted in "Met Inspection Requirements" or "Met Sanitation Inspection Requirements" dispositions. A priority foundation violation for missing temperature measuring equipment was cited in both inspections—the November 2022 inspection noted no probe thermometer was available, with the inspector measuring all cold-held products at 41°F or below using her own thermocouple; the May 2025 inspection again documented no thin probe thermometer available, and this violation was corrected on site during that visit. A priority violation in May 2025 documented chemicals and lighters stored with and above food items in the back storage room inventory cart; this was corrected on site and chemicals were moved to proper storage. The facility received a Certified Food Protection Manager certification handout and copies of inspection reports following both inspections.
