Vw Walmart Supercenter 0725 is a vended water facility in Haines City that has been subject to multiple enforcement actions since June 2025. A stop-sale order issued on June 20, 2025 required the voluntary destruction of time/temperature control products found in improper cold holding temperatures, followed by a second stop-sale order on the same date for products in improper hot holding temperatures. Products were destroyed under inspector observation. A stop-use order issued on June 20, 2025 for unsanitary equipment in the retail deli hot case remained in effect through August 2025, requiring the facility to obtain repairs or replacement before resuming use. A subsequent stop-use order issued on September 4, 2025 for unsanitary equipment was resolved after the equipment was repaired and released on the same date.
The June 20, 2025 inspection that triggered these enforcement actions documented 10 violations, including priority-level findings: raw animal food stored directly above ready-to-eat items in the meat cooler and deli case, hot-held foods maintained at 109–127°F when the required minimum is 135°F, and an employee handling food without washing hands between tasks. The facility corrected all cited issues on site during the inspection. Subsequent focused inspections conducted September 4, 2025 through January 22, 2026 show zero violations, with the most recent inspection on January 22, 2026 completed as a routine offsite inspection.
