Lucky Meats # in Homestead

Last inspected:

291 W Mowry Dr, Homestead, FL 33030
Overview

Lucky Meats #0002 in Homestead experienced significant temperature control and storage violations in 2022. During a July 2022 inspection, the facility's retail walk-in cooler was found operating between 44–46°F, exceeding safe food storage temperatures, prompting a stop-use order that remained in effect pending corrective action and inspector verification. A follow-up inspection on August 2, 2022 documented raw animal foods improperly stored above ready-to-eat items in the cooler—raw sausages positioned above fully cooked sausages and raw shell eggs stored over bottles of juices and sodas at customer reach—as well as multiple black flies observed in processing areas. Both violations were corrected on site during the inspection. The facility's most recent inspection on November 17, 2023, a focused assessment conducted in response to South Florida flooding, found no violations.
