Last inspected:

2700 Clearlake Rd, Cocoa, FL 32922

Part of: Walmart Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Walmart #174 in Cocoa had a stop-sale order issued May 21, 2025 after an inspector found hot-held chicken sandwiches and popcorn chicken in the deli department measuring 115–125°F, below the required minimum of 135°F. The products were adulterated under Florida Statutes 500.04 and 500.10 and were voluntarily destroyed by management under inspector supervision. A sanitation inspection the same day cited five violations, including the temperature control failure and handwashing sink accessibility issues in the deli and bakery — a handwashing sink by the three-compartment sink in the deli was being used for dumping ice, and a bakery handwashing sink was blocked by a bakery rack. Both issues were corrected on site when management moved the bakery rack and agreed to restrict handwashing sink use to hand washing only. A follow-up focused inspection on July 31, 2025 found zero violations and confirmed that issues from a prior complaint request were resolved.
