Overview

VW Publix 1128 in Port St. Lucie is a vended water establishment with 5 inspections on record. A focused inspection on February 23, 2023 documented 12 violations, including multiple priority-level food safety issues. An inspector observed cold-held cantaloupe stored at 43°F to 45°F in a produce display cooler when the required temperature was 41°F or below; packages were voluntarily discarded during the inspection. A plastic container of chemical agent was found stored hanging directly above gallons of milk on a grocery cart, creating contamination risk; the chemical was moved to proper storage during the inspection. Additional violations included meat slicers stored with food particles on a counter adjacent to the prep sink, open bulk deli meats from previous days without date marking in a display cooler, and a floor mixer bowl blocking access to a handwashing sink in the bakery area.
