Overview

Yalla Market in Coconut Creek has experienced significant enforcement action for temperature control violations in prepared foods. Two stop-sale orders issued November 12, 2024 required the immediate destruction of adulterated time/temperature control for safety foods — one involving improperly cooled shawarma meat and a second covering diced potatoes and rice that had cooled to unsafe temperatures (48–58°F, well above the 41°F maximum for cold-held foods). Both products were voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. The most recent inspection on November 12, 2024 documented 24 violations, including multiple high-priority temperature control failures: diced potatoes measured 48–53°F internal temperature, rice measured 58°F, and tomato and white sauce mixtures in the sandwich bar measured 53–54°F. An inspector also observed improper dish sanitization in the back room and documented a pattern of non-compliance involving cooling procedures, sanitization, written food safety procedures, and food allergen awareness. A prior inspection on April 26, 2023 found 14 violations including cold-held lettuce and tomatoes at 44°F, improperly stored window cleaner above cleaned food service equipment, and the person in charge unable to correctly answer food safety questions about disease transmission and employee restriction protocols. Multiple corrected-on-site violations suggest management responsiveness, but the recurring temperature control and management knowledge gaps indicate systemic food safety issues at this facility.
