Walmart #767 in Lake City has experienced significant temperature control and equipment sanitation enforcement over three years. A stop-sale order issued August 28, 2024 required the voluntary destruction of multiple products after raw Denver steaks, flat iron steaks, and New York strip steaks were found at temperatures between 46–51 degrees Fahrenheit in self-service meat cases, well above the required 41 degrees Fahrenheit maximum. A stop-use order issued the same day documented unsanitary equipment conditions; the equipment was subsequently repaired, checked, and released. A second stop-use order issued March 31, 2025 for equipment sanitation was released following corrective action. Seven inspections between September 2022 and December 2025 documented 11 violations total, with ready-to-eat food date marking and deli department temperature control appearing repeatedly. The most recent inspection on December 17, 2025 found four violations, including deli meats beyond 7 days (voluntarily discarded during inspection) and an employee handling ready-to-eat sweets without gloves (corrected on site). All violations during the current inspection were corrected on site.
