Overview

Food Meat And Produce in Lauderdale Lakes was inspected on September 22, 2023 for operating without a valid food permit and cited for 8 violations, including improper use of single-use gloves in the meat department where an employee used the same gloves for processing meat, handling trash, and re-entering work areas. The facility lacked written procedures for cleaning up vomiting and diarrheal events, and the meat department's three-compartment sink was undersized for the equipment requiring immersion. A Stop-Use Order originally placed on August 30, 2023 for the seafood display cooler remained in effect at the time of inspection. The single-use glove violation was corrected on site after the inspector addressed the policy with management and the employee washed hands before donning fresh gloves. The facility was directed to renew its food permit through the FDACS online portal or by contacting the Business Center at 850-245-5520 to request written release of equipment and products and avoid administrative action.
