Overview

Family Meat Market, a grocery store in Mims, has received two FDACS inspections on record, both citing 14 violations. A September 2022 inspection documented a priority violation for adulterated food—stew with white and green substance growth observed on the bottom shelf of a walk-in cooler—which was voluntarily discarded during the inspection. The same visit found raw chicken and turkey stored directly over raw beef in the walk-in cooler, a cross-contamination violation corrected on site. Additional intermediate violations included residue buildup on a cutting block near the meat slicer, missing date marks on multiple ready-to-eat items (cooked corn cobs, beef, rice, taziki, and soup), and a handwashing sink blocked by stored items—all corrected during inspection.

A September 2025 inspection cited 14 violations spanning employee health, food protection manager certification, and food handling practices. A priority violation documented a food employee who changed tasks and returned to the kitchen without washing hands before donning new gloves; the employee corrected this by removing gloves, washing hands, and donning clean gloves. Intermediate violations included the person in charge's inability to answer employee health questions, lack of written illness reporting procedures (corrected with provided documentation), missing date marks on containers of cooked pork, chicken, ground beef, and rice prepared more than 24 hours prior (manager date marked items during inspection), and no written vomit and diarrhea cleanup procedures (corrected with provided documentation). All violations in both inspections were corrected on site or through documentation provided by the inspector.
