Part of: Dollar General Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Dollar General #1313 in Sebring has been the subject of focused enforcement actions by FDACS centered on water source documentation. The facility received a focused inspection on October 29, 2024, which documented zero violations, but the inspector noted that issues from a prior complaint (request #5120952) were addressed with the person in charge. The establishment has been required to provide proof of its water source — either a municipal water bill or a DOH well permit — within 30 calendar days of the October 2024 inspection, with follow-up visits potentially occurring every 30 days until documentation is received. A prior focused inspection on November 3, 2023, also found zero violations but noted that no water source documentation had been received from the corporate office at that time, with the notice extended another 30 days. An earlier inspection on July 14, 2023, identified 6 violations. A high-priority violation documented that poisonous or toxic materials for retail sale were not stored to prevent contamination of food, specifically packages of single-use articles stored on display shelves with and above personal care and cleaning chemicals; the person in charge corrected this on-site by moving chemicals to other shelves. An intermediate violation found the establishment lacked written procedures for employees to respond to vomit or diarrhea events; management was provided guidance to develop step-by-step cleanup procedures. The July 2023 inspection also required the facility to provide water source documentation within 30 days, with non-compliance potentially resulting in administrative action.
