Overview

Prime Butcher Shoppe in Lutz has received multiple stop-use and stop-sale orders related to reduced oxygen packaging of ready-to-eat sausages and meats without required special process approval from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A stop-use order issued October 3, 2025 prohibited the facility from reducing oxygen packaging ready-to-eat sausages until special process approval was obtained; a stop-sale order issued the same date required voluntary destruction of adulterated product after the establishment failed to comply with its HACCP plan labeling requirements; and a subsequent stop-use order issued October 14, 2025 addressed additional violations of Florida Food Law related to the special process. Inspector notes from the October 3 inspection document that reduced oxygen packaged meats and chicken lacked required "use by" date labels as mandated by the firm's HACCP plan, and that daily, weekly, and monthly logs required by the plan were not being completed. Raw chicken was stored directly over raw pork and ground beef in an open-air cooler, violating separation requirements; management reorganized the cooler during the inspection. Unlabeled spray bottles of clear chemicals in the mop sink area were labeled by management during the visit. A prior inspection on April 25, 2023 cited the same recurring violations: raw chicken stored directly over ready-to-eat jarred pickles and produce in the retail cooler, reduced oxygen packaged meats lacking required "use by" dates and incomplete HACCP logs, old food buildup on food-contact surfaces of a meat tenderizer, and the person in charge unable to correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention. The facility was issued a check-back release on October 14, 2025 after adequate documentation was provided.
