Overview

VW Publix 1497 in West Palm Beach is a vended water facility that has undergone 6 inspections between September 2023 and February 2026, with a total of 6 violations on record, all of which were corrected on site during the inspections in which they were cited.

The facility experienced two significant compliance issues in 2023 and 2025. A September 2023 inspection found fresh spring rolls and cooked shrimp spring rolls held at 43–44°F when a minimum of 135°F or higher is required for hot-held ready-to-eat foods; items were moved to the back cooler and reached proper temperature during the visit. The same inspection documented an employee who did not wash hands before donning new gloves after handling buffer solution and before touching ready-to-eat foods; the employee washed hands properly immediately after the violation was observed. A second priority violation in that inspection involved a block of cream cheese in the walk-in cooler that had been open for 2 days without proper date marking; the employee dated the item during the visit. Additionally, the facility's HACCP plan lacked supervisor verification for one month, which was corrected on site. A September 2025 inspection identified the same pattern: fresh spring rolls with crab meat and shrimp spring rolls prepared at 9:30 AM were found at 11 AM holding at 43–44°F; items were immediately moved to cold storage. An employee was also observed not washing hands before donning gloves after working with buffer solution and before handling ready-to-eat foods; proper hand washing was performed during the visit. The facility's HACCP plan verification had again lapsed since June 2025 and was corrected during the inspection. Three subsequent focused inspections in August 2025, February 2026, and earlier baseline inspections found no violations. All violations were corrected on site, with trainee presence and primary inspector verification documented during the 2025 inspection.
