Presidente Supermarket in Miramar
3108 S University Dr, Miramar, FL 33025
Presidente Supermarket in Miramar has been subject to two stop-sale orders issued on March 25, 2025, both for adulterated time/temperature control for safety food. The first order addressed improper date marking and disposition of deli products; the second involved cooked cheese (sliced Gouda and Mozzarella) stored in the walk-in cooler with internal temperatures between 44–45°F when the required cooling time of 2 hours from 135°F to 70°F had not been met. The establishment voluntarily destroyed the cheese under inspector supervision. An additional stop-sale order issued the same date required immediate removal of deli Smoked Turkey Smoked Breast that exceeded the 7-day date marking limit for ready-to-eat products; this item was also voluntarily discarded.
Across 5 inspections between August 2022 and September 2025, the facility accumulated 19 violations. The March 2025 inspection documented 8 violations, including a high-priority finding that a food employee in the meat/seafood area did not wash hands after touching an exit door and re-entering the processing area, then proceeded to take a customer's meat order without changing gloves. The employee washed hands upon instruction and proper procedures were discussed with management. A priority foundation violation cited the absence of written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events; guidance was provided via email. A January 2023 follow-up inspection identified equipment sanitation and handwashing infrastructure issues in the produce, meat, and bakery areas, all corrected on site during the inspection. The most recent inspection on September 15, 2025 was a focused sample collection inspection with no violations cited.
