Last inspected:

14545 S Highway 475, Summerfield, FL 34491
Overview

O'Steen's Market and Farm, a grocery store in Summerfield, has six FDACS inspections on record from March 2023 to August 2025 with zero violations documented in its current compliance status. The facility encountered significant violations during its initial March 2023 inspection while operating without a valid food permit, including raw beef stored directly above fully cooked hot dogs in a display cooler (corrected on site), unlabeled raw shrimp packages removed from retail sale, a handwashing sink incapable of producing hot water at 100°F, and missing written procedures for vomitus and diarrheal events. A May 2025 focused inspection identified four violations: no verifiable method to ensure employees were informed of their obligation to report foodborne illness symptoms, the absence of written procedures for responding to vomitus or diarrheal events, and no probe thermometer available for food temperature measurement. The establishment was also required to submit documentation within 90 days proving its water supply comes from an approved source. An April 2023 check-back inspection verified compliance with prior citations. Subsequent focused inspections in May 2025 and August 2025 showed zero violations, with the August visit confirming the facility had installed handwashing and warewashing sinks meeting minimum construction standards.
