La Nueva Isla Supermarket in Clermont
Last inspected:
9722 Us Highway 192, Clermont, FL 34714La Nueva Isla Supermarket has been subject to nine stop-sale and stop-use orders since October 2025, driven primarily by time-temperature control failures and unsanitary equipment conditions. A stop-use order issued October 23, 2025 for the seafood cooler remains in effect as of March 2026, preventing the use of that equipment until the facility obtains written release from FDACS after documented corrections. Between October 23 and November 6, 2025, inspectors documented multiple adulterated products requiring voluntary destruction: cooked ground chicken and ground beef with internal temperatures of 46–47°F (requiring 165°F minimum), opened tomato paste cooled to only 46°F, and various hot-held foods measured at 100–102°F when 135°F is required. A November 6, 2025 focused inspection cited seven violations including cold-held retail meats measured at 44°F (above the 41°F maximum), an improperly positioned water supply hose creating a cross-contamination hazard, and gaps in employee health policy training. A prior October 23, 2025 inspection documented 32 violations including raw animal foods stored directly over ready-to-eat products in display cases, unsanitary food-contact utensils left in use for extended periods without washing, and cross-contamination between different types of raw meats. Inspector notes from subsequent focused inspections conducted in November 2025, December 2025, January 2026, and March 2026 indicate ongoing compliance assistance but confirm the original seafood cooler stop-use order remained unresolved. The facility's 8 inspections on record show zero violations recorded only in 2022 and 2023; enforcement activity resumed and intensified sharply in October 2025. The most recent inspection on March 3, 2026 was an offsite focused inspection documenting a verbal conversation regarding continuing compliance issues, with the stop-use order for the seafood cooler still in effect.
