Overview

Save A Lot in Frostproof had 5 inspections on record between July 2022 and August 2025. The initial comprehensive inspection in July 2022 documented 11 violations, including two priority-level cross-contamination findings: raw pork stored directly adjacent to ready-to-eat meats on retail cooler shelves, and raw chicken packages stacked above raw hamburger and pork on meat department rolling carts. Both violations were corrected on site by staff repositioning products and installing dividers. The same inspection also cited damaged canned goods with lost vacuum seals and food exposed to potential contamination, which were moved to a detained area for discard, as well as missing temperature measuring and sanitizer test equipment in the meat area. Four subsequent focused inspections between May 2023 and August 2025—including country of origin labeling reviews and sample collection activities—resulted in zero violations.
