Vended Water operator VW Publix 1006 in Palm Beach Gardens has maintained a clean inspection record since January 2023, with zero violations cited across the most recent four focused inspections conducted between January 2024 and April 2026. The facility received lab results approval during offsite inspections in April 2026 and September 2025. In January 2023, the establishment was cited for three priority violations: spicy tuna held at 42–26°F instead of the required 41°F or below in the display case, HACCP plan non-compliance during calibration and rice testing procedures, and failure to maintain required sushi cooling logs. All three violations were corrected on site during the inspection. A separate inspection the same day documented seven additional violations including raw chicken stored directly above raw beef in the meat department display case, missing shellstock tags maintained in chronological order for the required 90-day period, and an open package of grilled chicken in the deli reach-in cooler not date marked when opened. All violations from that inspection were also corrected on site. The facility has maintained compliance in all subsequent inspections.
