Overview

DD Food Mart in Dade City has been subject to two stop-sale orders for adulterated time/temperature control for safety food due to improper cooling. A stop-sale order issued October 8, 2025 required destruction of cooked fried chicken that had been held overnight in a walk-in cooler at 44–45°F instead of cooling to proper temperatures within the required timeframe; the product was voluntarily destroyed and witnessed by the inspector. A second stop-sale order issued September 17, 2024 involved similar temperature control violations and was also resolved through voluntary destruction.

The facility has had 5 inspections on record since September 2023, with 17 total violations documented across 3 sanitation inspections and 2 focused inspections. The most recent sanitation inspection on October 8, 2025 cited 6 violations, including a priority violation for improper cooling of cooked chicken in the walk-in cooler, a priority violation for hot-held chicken tenders measured at 121–131°F (below the required 135°F minimum), and a priority foundation violation for refrigerated creamer held more than 24 hours without date marking. All cited violations were corrected on site. The September 17, 2024 sanitation inspection documented 11 violations, including a repeat priority violation for inadequate hot-holding temperatures (gizzards measured 127–133°F, chicken tenders 113–133°F), a priority violation for reheating macaroni and cheese uncovered in a microwave, a priority violation for hand washing with only cold water, and a priority foundation violation for hot water shut off at the restroom handwash sink. The facility corrected violations on site during that inspection as well. Two focused inspections conducted October 24, 2024 and August 26, 2024 resulted in no violations.
