10855 S Us Highway 1, Port St Lucie, FL 34952Part of: Walmart Florida health inspections, violations & closures
Walmart #929 in Port St. Lucie issued four stop-sale orders on September 22, 2025 for adulterated products, all citing improper food safety conditions: prepackaged produce showing decay, hot-held poultry items (Popcorn Chicken and Bean and Cheese Chimichanga) measured at 126–129°F instead of the required minimum 135°F, and dented cans of food. All products were voluntarily destroyed by the facility and witnessed by inspectors. The facility had 9 violations during the September 22, 2025 inspection that prompted these orders, including high-priority violations for unsafe food and improper hot-holding temperatures, intermediate violations for damaged food packaging and low sanitizer concentration in the deli department, and a defective ambient thermometer. A focused inspection on October 30, 2025 found no violations after the violations were addressed. Two prior inspections in 2024 and 2023 documented recurring equipment and storage sanitation issues in the deli and produce departments, though violations were corrected on site during each inspection. Total violations across four inspections numbered 33, with corrected-on-site compliance noted throughout the record.
