Overview

Bay Supermarket in Miami has 5 inspections on record since March 2023, with 53 documented violations concentrated in two inspections spanning temperature control, cross-contamination, and employee hygiene. The most significant findings involved hot-held foods (ham croquettes, beef empanadas, ham empanadas, cheese empanadas) measured between 92–124°F when the required minimum is 135°F, raw bacon stored directly above bread in a walk-in cooler, raw pork sausage displayed directly above raw beef in an open-air cooler, and a food employee who did not wash hands after handling money or re-entering the meat area. A can of Raid Ant & Roach Killer labeled for household use was found stored above a three-compartment sink. The establishment lacked written procedures for responding to vomit and diarrhea events, and the person in charge could not correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention. Most violations were corrected on site during inspections. Two focused inspections conducted in August 2025 and June 2024 (including an emergency assessment) resulted in zero violations. The most recent comprehensive inspection on January 6, 2026 documented 20 violations with all corrections completed during the visit, indicating responsive compliance when violations are identified.
