Part of: Target Florida health inspections, violations & closures

Overview

Target #0656 in Tampa operated as a minor outlet with significant food service and packaged ice. Four focused inspections and one comprehensive inspection on record span from June 2022 to September 2025, with zero violations documented during the three most recent focused inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025. A June 2022 comprehensive inspection cited 8 violations, all corrected on site. Priority violations included raw animal foods stored improperly — ground chicken positioned directly over ground pork in the meat area, and raw bacon stored above ready-to-eat bacon in the produce area; raw chicken also stored over ready-to-eat chopped ham in the meat cooler. Cold-holding violations were documented when hard boiled eggs and chicken salad sandwiches in a grab-and-go cooler at store entrance measured 55°F and 48°F respectively (required: 41°F or below), and chopped greens in produce measured 46°F. Live insects were found in bags of rice in the retail area. All violations were corrected during the inspection: ground pork was repositioned, ready-to-eat foods were moved above raw meats, temperature-abused foods were discarded and others quick-chilled, affected rice bags were destroyed, and shelving was cleaned and sanitized. Subsequent focused inspections in October 2022, January 2024, and September 2025 documented no violations.
