Overview

Vw Publix 1187 in Deltona is a vended water facility operating under FDACS licensure. The establishment received three enforcement orders in September 2025 following a sanitation inspection that documented 11 violations. A stop-use order issued September 23, 2025 required immediate removal of an under-counter cooler after an inspector measured cream cheese at 43°F, raw tuna at 46°F, and raw salmon at 46°F — all above the required 41°F maximum for cold-held time/temperature control foods. A stop-sale order issued the same day required voluntary destruction of improperly cooled house-made sushi that measured 56°F when placed into the retail sales case at 10:30 a.m. A second stop-use order issued September 25, 2025 addressed unsanitary equipment conditions. During the September 23 inspection, employees corrected violations on site, including relocating temperature-abused foods to the walk-in cooler for proper cooling, washing sushi cutting boards and knives that had been in use for over four hours, and emptying a metal container with old food residue. An inspector also observed an employee beginning food preparation without first washing hands; the employee complied immediately when instructed. The facility passed focused inspections on September 25 and November 3, 2025 with zero violations after corrections were implemented.
