Sabores Market in Medley

Last inspected:

10720 Nw 74th St, Medley, FL 33178
Overview

Sabores Market in Medley received five violations during a sanitation inspection on November 19, 2025, including critical food temperature control failures and labeling deficiencies. An inspector found sliced ham and buttermilk stored in a retail cooler at 43–44 degrees Fahrenheit, exceeding the required maximum of 41 degrees Fahrenheit, triggering a stop-sale order; both items were voluntarily destroyed. Three additional stop-sale orders issued the same day required destruction of multiple packaged refrigerated products due to adulterated status and missing or unverifiable source labeling — beverages and desserts lacked required brand names, net weights, ingredient lists, allergen information, and source verification. The establishment also lacked written employee procedures for responding to food safety events, had no accessible food temperature probe, and was missing hand drying equipment in the employee restroom; all were corrected on site. Two prior focused inspections in 2022 and 2023 found no violations. An administrative complaint was hand-delivered to the establishment.
