Part of: Walmart Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Walmart #3414 in Palm Harbor has one inspection on record from March 2023, when inspectors found 7 violations including three high-priority food safety failures. Raw ground beef was stored directly above ready-to-eat canned crab in the walk-in cooler; the person in charge immediately moved the crab to the top shelf during the inspection. Hot-held chicken in the deli measured 130 to 132 degrees Fahrenheit, below the required 135 degrees, and additional hot-held items near the registers (popcorn chicken at 114–115 degrees and corn dogs at 120–130 degrees) were below temperature; all were voluntarily discarded. Employee sanitization of utensils in the deli fell short of required contact time with sanitizer, which was corrected on site. A hand wash sink in the produce area was blocked by a prep cart and was unblocked during the inspection. All violations were corrected on site. A focused inspection on January 9, 2025 addressed issues from a prior customer request and found no violations.
