Overview

Family Dollar #11086 in Lakeland has seven inspections on record dating from August 2023 to January 2026, with zero violations currently cited. The facility received one focused inspection in August 2023 that documented two violations: a high-priority chemical storage issue where multi-surface cleaner was stored directly above chocolates in the retail area, and an intermediate-priority finding that the establishment lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events. Both violations were corrected on site — the chemical was relocated during the inspection, and the inspector provided written procedure guidance to management. All subsequent inspections have been completed with no further violations, including routine offsite inspections and a focused follow-up visit in October 2024 in response to Hurricane Milton. The most recent inspection on January 7, 2026 was a focused inspection completed with no violations noted.
