Overview

Dollar General #24609 in Interlachen received an inspection on August 19, 2025 that identified five violations. A bottle of pine chemical cleaner was displayed directly over single-use storage bags, creating contamination risk — this item was moved to an appropriate location during the inspection. The facility lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events; guidance documentation was provided. A probe-style thermometer was not available for assessing incoming product temperatures, a repeat violation from prior inspections. The facility received its initial food permit in January 2023 and underwent a focused inspection in February 2023 to clarify hemp product designation on its permit application, which was subsequently removed after confirmation that the location would not carry hemp extract products.
