Overview

Aldi #61 in Tampa has had 3 inspections on record since May 2023. The facility's most recent inspection on September 23, 2025 documented 4 violations, all of which were corrected during the inspection. A priority violation found raw chicken stored directly over raw shredded pork in an open-air meat cooler; the manager immediately reorganized the shelf to separate raw poultry from other raw animal products. A priority foundation violation documented that the person in charge could not correctly answer questions about foodborne illness prevention and employee health policy — guidance on these topics was provided during the inspection. A second priority foundation violation involved a heavily dented can of beans that was removed from retail sale. An earlier inspection on May 18, 2023 cited similar cross-contamination issues, with raw chicken and shell eggs stored in a shopping cart directly above ready-to-eat foods and unwashed produce in a walk-in cooler; those items were relocated during that inspection as well. A September 13, 2023 focused inspection for routine sample collection found no violations.
