Vibez Food Mart in Hialeah
Last inspected:
5961 W 16th Ave, Hialeah, FL 33012Vibez Food Mart in Hialeah has been issued 12 stop-sale orders across five inspections between September 2023 and February 2026, with recurrent enforcement actions targeting critical food safety violations. On October 23, 2025, eight separate stop-sale orders were issued for controlled substances (kratom or synthetic cannabinoids prohibited under Florida Statutes Chapter 893), followed by an adulterated food order for corn tamales found with black mold in the walk-in cooler. A February 11, 2026 inspection documented adulterated packaged watermelon with yellow mold-like substances in a reach-in cooler, voluntarily destroyed during the inspection. On November 7, 2025, a stop-sale order addressed improper date marking on deli meats (serrano ham, turkey, salami) stored in a reach-in cooler with unknown opening dates; all items were voluntarily discarded.
Raw-to-ready-to-eat cross-contamination violations appear in three of five inspections: raw chorizo displayed directly above cooked Jamon criollo and smoked sausage (November 2025), raw shell eggs stored directly above orange juice and beef stored directly above ready-to-eat pizza in walk-in coolers (October 2025), and raw beef steak stored above ready-to-eat cheese and ham (September 2023). Critical temperature control failures were documented in October 2025 when pork roast and chicharrones held at 70–78°F were voluntarily discarded. Management knowledge gaps are persistent: the person in charge provided incorrect responses regarding foodborne illness prevention, employee reporting responsibilities, and sick employee protocols in three inspections. The establishment lacks written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events (cited in February 2026, November 2025, and September 2025) and has not maintained readily accessible probe thermometers or sanitizer test strips required for temperature and sanitizer verification. The most recent inspection on February 11, 2026 found 11 violations requiring corrective action.
