Overview

Sprouts Farmers Market in West Palm Beach has 6 FDACS inspections on record between January 2024 and March 2026, with 16 total violations. The facility demonstrates a pattern of correcting violations on site during inspections, though several critical issues have recurred. A priority violation for raw poultry temperature control appeared in September 2025 when rotisserie chicken cooked in the deli was found at 160–161°F instead of the required 165°F; the chicken was recooked to proper temperature during the inspection. In May 2024, inspectors documented a priority cross-contamination violation when raw bacon was stored directly above fully cooked sausages in the meat cooler, and packages of prepared deli turkey, turkey sandwiches, and tuna sandwiches were cooling at 44–46°F rather than reaching safe temperatures promptly. A priority violation for single-use glove practices recurred in July 2025 when a retail employee serving food samples changed tasks and returned to serving without donning fresh gloves; the employee complied by washing hands and changing gloves during the visit. Backflow prevention device violations at the mop sink appeared in both May 2024 and September 2025 inspections. Equipment cleanliness issues, consumer advisory disclosures for raw seafood, and adulterated produce (a tomato with black mold on the exterior) were also documented. The most recent inspection on March 10, 2026 was a training visit with no violations cited.
