Overview

Publix #0652 in Miramar has 7 inspections on record between March 2023 and March 2026, with a total of 6 violations, all documented in a single September 2025 sanitation inspection. A stop-sale order issued September 3, 2025 required destruction of wedge cut yellow watermelon found at improper cold-holding temperatures (46–49°F, below the required 41°F or below). The watermelon had been cut and placed in a retail display cooler the previous day and remained out of temperature for an undetermined period; the product was voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by the inspector. During the same inspection, 20 containers of cut watermelon in the entrance display cooler were found at 56–58°F and had been in the cooler less than two hours; these were voluntarily moved to a walk-in cooler for proper cooling at the time of inspection. Hand towels were missing from a handwashing sink in the deli area adjacent to the fryer and were provided during the inspection. All six violations were corrected on site or resulted in product destruction. Five subsequent inspections—July 2025, June 2024, November 2023, and two in 2026—recorded zero violations, indicating sustained compliance after the September 2025 violations.
