Overview

Aldi #0034 in Winter Haven has 5 inspections on record dating from June 2022 to August 2025, with a total of 2 violations, both of which were corrected on site. On June 3, 2022, an inspection found a handwashing sink in the restroom lacked hot water (at least 100°F), and FDACS issued a 30-day compliance notice. A follow-up focused inspection on July 7, 2022 confirmed the facility had corrected the issue, with hot water now metered to 90–100°F at the restroom sinks. On August 7, 2025, an inspector observed raw bacon packages stored on a cooler display shelf directly above ready-to-eat hot dogs in the retail area, violating raw-animal-food separation requirements. The person in charge immediately moved the bacon to the proper location with other raw meat products, correcting the violation during the inspection. Three focused inspections conducted for sample collection (June 2022, October 2022, April 2024) found no violations. The most recent inspection on August 7, 2025 resulted in compliance with sanitation requirements after the on-site correction.
