Overview

On March 7, 2025, Pardo Supermarket in Miami received multiple stop-sale and stop-use orders after an FDACS inspection documented serious food safety violations. A stop-sale order required the voluntary destruction of products due to adulterated food from unapproved sources and time/temperature control failures—milk and cheese stored in a reach-in cooler were measured at 51°F and 52°F respectively, above the required 41°F maximum. Additional stop-sale orders addressed food contamination from insects, rodents, and animals. Stop-use orders required the removal or repair of unsanitary equipment and handwashing sinks that were not properly supplied and accessible. During the same inspection, the facility was cited for 39 violations including high-priority findings: raw beef stored directly above cooked rice and beans, raw shell eggs held at ambient temperature (75°F) instead of refrigeration, utensils and equipment sanitized improperly before use, and a pesticide (Raid Ant & Roach Killer labeled for household use) stored below the ware wash sink. All cited violations were corrected on site during the inspection. A follow-up focused inspection on January 22, 2026 documented no violations, and the facility was released from re-inspection requirements.
