The most recent inspection on July 29, 2025 identified 10 violations including priority (P) and priority foundation (Pf) findings.

A priority foundation violation documented a Panni Press in the deli with buildup of old food residue. The meat department handwashing sink contained meat residue and was not accessible for employee use. The facility also lacked documentation for employees to report foodborne illness concerns; the inspector provided an employee reporting agreement handout. A prior inspection on July 13, 2022 found similar temperature control issues with cut watermelon in the produce department (measured at 47–56°F) and improperly date-marked ready-to-eat items in the deli back room; both violations were corrected on site. The facility has demonstrated responsiveness to inspector findings through on-site corrections across multiple inspections.
