Overview

Publix #1121 in Coral Springs has had 5 FDACS inspections on record between June 2023 and October 2025, with a combined 12 violations and no stop-sale orders. The facility demonstrated responsive compliance when violations were identified. In a June 2023 inspection, the deli department had raw chicken stored above ready-to-eat items (beef pot roast, mojo pork roast, chicken and wild rice soup) in the walk-in cooler, and the meat department's band saw blade and wheel were encrusted with dried meat particles — both corrected during the inspection. The same inspection also found open deli meats (ham, turkey, Spanish pork) in the deli case held over 24 hours without date marking, and a bakery hand wash sink blocked by a metal cart and cake mixer bowl — all corrected on site. A July 2025 sanitation inspection found a repeat violation: the sanitizing solution in the produce department's warewashing sink was over 400 PPM (maximum allowed concentration not specified but required dilution) and was corrected during the visit, along with an unmarked open hard salami in the deli department. The two most recent inspections, conducted in August and October 2025, resulted in no violations. The most recent inspection on October 8, 2025 was a focused inspection completed with lab results provided.
