Last inspected:

845 E Okeechobee Rd, Hialeah, FL 33010
Overview

Navarro Discount Pharmacy #11601 in Hialeah has been operating without a valid food permit since at least December 2025. The facility failed to provide required documentation proving an approved water supply and sewage disposal system, violations of Rule 5K-4.004(3)(a)-(b), Florida Administrative Code. FDACS conducted six consecutive focused inspections between December 8, 2025 and February 4, 2026, each citing the same two priority violations and issuing re-inspection orders scheduled approximately 14 days apart. The establishment submitted a food permit application but remained unable to meet minimum construction standards for water and sewage infrastructure. A final focused inspection on April 3, 2026 confirmed the permit violation remained unresolved, with FDACS warning that operating without a valid food permit may result in administrative penalties up to $5,000 and suspension of food activities under Florida Statute 500.12(1)(a).
