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

Overview

Dollar General #3699 in Tampa has two inspections on record. The facility received a priority violation on September 15, 2023 for storing cleaning chemicals on a shelf directly above single-service items, which was corrected on site by reorganizing the shelf to separate chemicals from food-contact supplies. The establishment also lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events; the inspector provided guidance materials and procedures during that inspection. Most recently, on November 6, 2025, a priority foundation violation was cited when a heavily dented can of mushrooms was found on the retail shelf; the can was removed from sale and relocated to segregated inventory during the inspection. The facility met sanitation inspection requirements at both visits.
