Part of: Dollar Tree Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Dollar Tree #07621 in Orlando has been inspected twice since February 2023, with a combined 14 violations. Both inspections found the facility lacking written procedures for responding to vomit and diarrhea events — a priority foundation violation cited in 2023 and again in 2025. The facility also lacked a probe thermometer for verifying food receiving temperatures at both inspections; during the 2023 inspection, the establishment obtained the thermometer before the inspection concluded. A September 2025 inspection, prompted by a customer request regarding a non-functioning water machine, documented 8 violations including the recurring thermometer and event-response plan deficiencies. The most recent inspection result was Met Sanitation Inspection Requirements.
