Overview

VW Publix 1450 is a vended water facility in Port Orange licensed by FDACS. The facility had 4 violations cited during a March 2025 sanitation inspection, including two priority violations for improper raw food storage and temperature control. An inspector thermometer recorded packaged raw fish sushi at 43 degrees Fahrenheit in a retail self-service refrigerated case, exceeding the 41-degree maximum for cold-held ready-to-eat foods. Raw tuna was stored directly over unwashed avocados and ready-to-eat imitation crab in the walk-in cooler.
