Overview

Publix #1239 in Saint Augustine has 8 inspections on record dating to October 2022, with a total of 11 violations and no stop-sale orders. The facility has demonstrated strong compliance with zero violations cited in the most recent four focused inspections conducted between August 2023 and January 2026.

Temperature control for ready-to-eat foods was the primary compliance issue. In October 2022, the facility received a priority violation when Boar's Head roasted chicken breast was found at 44–45 degrees Fahrenheit in the deli display case; all products were placed in a blast chiller and cooled to 41 degrees Fahrenheit during the inspection. In April 2024, a similar priority violation occurred when sushi display case products tested at 46–47 degrees Fahrenheit; the facility corrected the issue on site by moving all products to the freezer. A repeat priority violation for the same temperature control issue was cited in September 2025 when Boar's Head roasted chicken breast again registered 44–45 degrees Fahrenheit in the display case; correction on site brought the product to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Additional violations in the October 2022 inspection included raw pork bacon stored directly above ready-to-eat meat and cheese packs in the stockroom and raw pork belly stored directly above ready-to-eat ham in the meat department, both corrected on site by relocating products; deli chicken without date marking, voluntarily discarded; dented cans on the retail shelf, voluntarily removed; a missing shellstock tag on littleneck clams; and a damaged ambient air thermometer in the walk-in dairy cooler. An inoperative ambient thermometer in the sushi display case was cited as a priority foundation violation in April 2024. The most recent inspection on January 5, 2026 was a focused inspection addressing prior request issues, with no violations found.
