Overview

VW Publix 0620 in Royal Palm Beach is a vended water facility operated by Publix Super Market. The facility has had 7 inspections on record between March 2023 and March 2026, with a total of 9 violations documented across its history and zero stop-sale or stop-use orders issued.

Four violations were cited during a December 2024 focused inspection, all corrected on site. Inspectors documented brown rice stored on a prep table above a reach-in cooler with an internal temperature between 43–47 degrees Fahrenheit when it should have been maintained at 41°F or below; the rice was cooled properly during the visit. The facility's person in charge had not followed the HACCP plan when calibrating the pH meter, using 2-ounce cups instead of the required 4-ounce cups and failing to place the meter in the 4.00 buffer solution after calibration. Two food employees were found washing hands with cold water instead of warm water, and one employee did not wash hands before donning gloves after re-entering the processing area. All three handwashing and procedure issues were corrected during the inspection and discussed with staff.

A July 2023 inspection documented four additional violations, all corrected on site. Raw chicken was displayed in direct contact with raw pork and beef meal kits in the meat department display cooler; raw pork was displayed directly above fully cooked ham in the display case; ready-to-eat shrimp, potatoes, and crab meat that were opened on June 29, 2023 had exceeded their marked date and were voluntarily discarded; and whole deli meats held for credit were stored directly above retail products within the deli walk-in cooler. A March 2023 inspection found shellstock tags not stored in chronological order in the seafood department; the tags were reorganized during the visit. The two most recent inspections in December 2023 and September 2025 resulted in zero violations, with the March 2026 inspection also showing zero violations.
