Fiesta Food Market in Labelle

Last inspected:

1015 N State Road 29, Labelle, FL 33935
Overview

Fiesta Food Market in LaBelle had 2 FDACS inspections on record between March 31 and April 14, 2023, with a combined 30 violations including multiple priority-level findings. The March 31 inspection required corrective action after inspectors documented a spill of prepared raw meat in the walk-in cooler, raw chicken stacked directly on top of red meats in storage, toxic materials (liquid lighter fluid and oven cleaner) improperly stored near food and food-contact surfaces, and a deli employee observed not washing hands before putting on gloves. The April 14 reinspection found the facility had failed to correct multiple systemic issues: raw shell eggs remained stored directly on top of liquid margarine in a reach-in cooler, prepared deli items in the back area were not dated for expiration as required, the handwashing sink in the meat area was blocked from use by meat trays and bags, and the facility still lacked a certified food protection manager and written procedures for cleaning bodily fluid spills. The pattern of non-compliance with food protection manager requirements and employee hand hygiene was documented across both inspections.
