Overview

Silver Lake Grocery in Tallahassee has experienced significant food safety enforcement since mid-2024. The facility received stop-use orders for unsanitary equipment on three separate occasions between October 16 and November 12, 2025, each relating to improperly maintained or designed food-contact surfaces. On October 16, 2025, a re-inspection issued three stop-sale orders requiring the voluntary destruction of time/temperature control foods found with improper cooling (beans at 64–69°F), cold-holding (fish, rice, raw chicken, raw pork, milk, and yogurt drinks at 43–50°F), and hot-holding temperatures (sausages among items at 100–127°F). The same October 16 inspection documented 18 violations including raw chicken stored directly above ready-to-eat beans in the produce walk-in cooler, a large pot of beans that cooled overnight without temperature monitoring, and multiple ready-to-eat items found below safe temperatures. A focused inspection on November 12, 2025 found the produce cooler compliant at 37°F ambient temperature after the equipment stop-use order was lifted. Prior inspections in 2024 and 2023 documented similar patterns: raw meat stacking violations (sausages over ready-to-eat sausages in May 2024; raw turkey over raw pork in March 2023), hot-holding temperature failures (plantains, bananas, and buffalo wings at 110–126°F in March 2023), and recurring deficiencies in written procedures for responding to vomit and diarrhea events, thermometer calibration, and sanitizer labeling. Equipment repairs and replacements were released by inspector following the November 12 and October 30 stop-use orders.
