Perrine's Produce in Dixie Freeway New Smyrna Beach

Last inspected:

720 S, Dixie Freeway New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168
Overview

Perrine's Produce in New Smyrna Beach had a changing operational history on the FDACS record. The facility underwent a focused inspection in April 2023 following a lab report that identified adulterated ground cumin in clam shell packaging on the retail shelf. The inspector documented that the product arrived pre-packaged and the manager voluntarily opened and discarded all affected units during the inspection. A November 2022 inspection found five violations, including a priority foundation plumbing deficiency — the mop sink in the back storage room lacked a required backflow prevention device at the splitter attachment. In June 2025, a focused inspection conducted offsite noted that the food establishment had changed owners and was placed out of business.
