Overview

Festival Supermarket in Lauderhill experienced multiple temperature control violations during a June 10, 2025 sanitation inspection. Three separate stop-sale and stop-use orders were issued on the same date for adulterated products due to improper cold and hot holding temperatures, and for unsanitary equipment. The cold-holding violations included raw shrimp and cooked shrimp in a display case measured at 43–53°F (minimum required 41°F) and bags of cut salads in the back cooler at 46–49°F. A stop-sale order required destruction of improperly cold-held products, and a separate stop-sale order addressed hot-held temperature failures. A stop-use order removed equipment or products from service due to unsanitary food-contact surfaces. Additional high-priority violations during the same inspection included raw animal foods stored directly over ready-to-eat items in coolers and retail shelves—raw fish over thawed vegetables and unwashed plantains, raw pork sausage and bacon over hot dogs and smoked pork chops—and ground chicken left at ambient temperature for 2.5 hours (reaching only 44°F at 9:30 a.m.). Most violations were corrected on site during the inspection. A focused follow-up inspection on May 7, 2024 documented no violations.
