Last inspected:

1285 N Church Ave, Mulberry, FL 33860
Overview

J M J Food Mart II in Mulberry had a critical enforcement action in June 2025, when five stop-sale orders were issued on the same date for products found to contain contaminants under Florida Food Law (FS 500). All products were transferred to law enforcement custody. The facility's only inspection on record dates to June 30, 2022, when seven violations were documented during a focused visit, including three high-priority findings: raw bacon stored directly above ready-to-eat food items in a reach-in cooler, hot-held chicken tenders, gizzards, and pork chops measured between 105–130°F (minimum required 135°F), and cold-held sausage gravy and milk measured at 47°F (maximum allowed 41°F). All three violations were corrected on site during the inspection—raw bacon was relocated, chicken tenders and gizzards were discarded, and pork chops were reheated and verified. The June 2025 stop-sale orders reference an earlier enforcement action from June 15, 2022, involving various hemp products (THC-O), which were subject to removal and check-back procedures in June 2025.
