Mega Saver in Coral Springs

Last inspected:

8161 Wiles Rd, Coral Springs, FL 33067
Overview

Mega Saver in Coral Springs operates without a valid food permit and has accumulated 15 violations across two FDACS inspections since January 2023. The facility was inspected on January 26, 2023 for operating without a valid permit and cited for 8 violations, including a priority violation for raw shell eggs stored directly over packaged cheese in a reach-in cooler — a cross-contamination hazard that was corrected on site. The establishment also lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events, did not have an employee health policy, and the person in charge could not correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention and symptoms. A follow-up inspection on March 18, 2025 documented 7 additional violations under the same operating-without-permit status, again citing failures in employee health training and written sanitation procedures for biological contamination events. The inspector notes from both visits indicate that permit application fees remain unpaid and processing cannot proceed until full payment is submitted to FDACS.
