Overview

Winn Dixie #2503 in Wesley Chapel had four inspections on record between March 2023 and February 2025. A March 28, 2023 inspection found seven violations, including three priority-level findings: raw fish stored above ready-to-eat cocktail sauce in the seafood department walk-in cooler, a fish fillet sandwich held in the deli hot case at 124°F (minimum required 135°F), and a deli employee not washing hands before donning gloves to begin food service.
