La Placita Ftp, a grocery store in Fort Pierce, received multiple enforcement actions in November 2025 for temperature control failures and equipment sanitation deficiencies. Between November 5 and November 19, 2025, the facility was issued 12 stop-sale and stop-use orders documenting adulterated products and unsanitary equipment. A November 5 re-inspection documented 43 violations, including raw animal foods stored directly over ready-to-eat items in coolers, cooked foods that failed to cool to safe temperatures within required timeframes, and time/temperature control violations across the meat department and food processing areas. Multiple products—including milk, cheeses, eggs, red beans, brown beans, and yellow rice—were voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by inspector. Equipment including a band saw used at room temperature for more than 4 hours without sanitation was corrected on site. A subsequent November 19 sanitation inspection documented 9 violations, including hot-held pork belly and pulled pork measured at 109–135°F (below the 135°F minimum), cold-held milk and cheeses in the dairy cooler at 50°F, and raw shell eggs improperly held at 50°F ambient temperature. The person in charge was unable to correctly answer questions regarding prevention of foodborne illness transmission. Most violations were corrected on site, though the facility remains subject to re-inspection requirements and stop-use order release conditions.
