Overview

VW Publix 0657 in Miami is a vended water facility with 5 inspections on record between November 2022 and October 2025. The facility experienced a significant enforcement action on October 10, 2025, when an inspector documented 7 violations during a sanitation inspection, including three priority-level findings. Raw salmon was stored directly above washed and cut cucumbers in a cold unit until the inspector directed its relocation during the inspection. A food employee wore single-use gloves to handle food items, then used the same gloves to handle business binders and subsequently returned to handle food-contact containers without changing gloves; the employee washed hands and donned new gloves after the violation was observed. Multiple sushi rolls prepared in the morning were placed in the retail cold unit before reaching the required 41°F temperature, with measured temperatures ranging from 44 to 51°F; all items were cooled to 41°F during the inspection. The person in charge was unable to correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention and reporting responsibilities, and required monthly verification signatures for acidified white rice were missing from the log verification worksheet. Three subsequent inspections in September, August, and October 2024 resulted in no violations. A prior enforcement action on November 29, 2022 cited adulteration when a paper price tag was observed in direct contact with fresh baked bread in the bakery department; the breads were voluntarily discarded during the inspection.
