1502 E Fletcher Ave Ste, Tampa, FL 33612Fletcher Supermarket in Tampa had six inspections on record between August 2023 and March 2025, with repeated equipment failures and temperature control violations requiring multiple stop-use orders. The facility issued five stop-use orders between February 25 and March 14, 2025, all citing unsanitary equipment under FS 500.172 — specifically an open-air island bunker cooler and a two-door counter-top cooler unable to maintain foods at 41°F or below.

The February 25 inspection documented 19 violations including raw foods stored directly over ready-to-eat items in retail coolers, hot-held deli items measured at 85–109°F (requiring 135°F minimum), and cleaning chemicals stored on food preparation tables. The March 11 inspection documented 12 additional violations including raw shell eggs stored over drinks in the walk-in cooler, repeat poisonous materials storage violations, and missing paper towels at handwashing sinks — all corrected on site. The open-air island cooler remained non-compliant through March 12 despite corrections attempted on March 14, when the cooler was finally repaired and released. The most recent inspection on March 14, 2025 was a check-back focused inspection with zero violations and equipment released.
