Overview

Dollar General #4734 in Tallahassee has been subject to multiple stop-use and stop-sale orders within the past year due to temperature control failures and unsanitary equipment conditions. On May 20, 2025, a stop-sale order required the voluntary destruction of time/temperature control for safety food products after inspectors found internal refrigerator temperatures ranging between 49–60°F, well above the required 41°F maximum. The same inspection documented raw shell eggs stored in a refrigerator holding 50°F and identified a lack of functional temperature monitoring equipment. Two stop-use orders issued on May 20, 2025 prohibited storage of temperature-controlled foods in the retail refrigerator and back-stock refrigerator until equipment was repaired or replaced. Additional stop-use orders issued June 3, 2025 for unsanitary equipment were resolved after equipment was obtained, repaired, and verified by the inspector. A focused inspection on June 3, 2025 found no violations, indicating compliance with the corrective actions required.
