Vw Winn Dixie in Panama City

Last inspected:

132 S Tyndall Pkwy, Panama City, FL 32404

Part of: Winn-Dixie Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

A stop-sale order issued August 22, 2025 required the immediate removal of time/temperature control products found at improper holding temperatures under Florida Statutes 500.04 and 500.10 (adulterated food). The inspector observed fried chicken held at 122°F, 127°F, and 130°F in the retail hot holding unit, and a hot wing at 122°F in the deli hot bar—all below the required 135°F minimum. The establishment voluntarily destroyed all out-of-temperature products under inspector witness. The same August 2025 inspection also cited a priority foundation violation for plumbing backflow prevention: Y-splitters without attachable backflow prevention devices were observed at the deli ware wash sink and mop sink in back storage. Both violations were corrected on site. Seven subsequent focused inspections between September 2024 and March 2026 produced zero violations, including routine offsite sample collection inspections and lab result reviews. The facility intends to carry hemp and kratom extract products this permit year and has been designated a hemp food establishment.
