Overview

Dollar General #1273 in Live Oak received 6 violations during a sanitation inspection on March 11, 2025. Seven cans of RoTel Diced Tomatoes in the retail area were found damaged with dents and rust and were removed from sale during the inspection. The facility was unable to provide a probe thermometer for monitoring cold holding temperatures of perishable foods, a required food safety tool. FDACS also required the facility to submit updated documentation within 30 days demonstrating that its water supply comes from an approved source. An earlier inspection on June 8, 2023 documented 7 violations, including the same missing probe thermometer issue — which was corrected on site at that visit — and a mop sink in the back room lacking a required backflow device. The facility has corrected violations on site during inspections when identified.
