Overview

Key Food Fresh Supermarket in Winter Haven has been inspected three times since November 2024, most recently on March 23, 2026 for sample collection with no violations noted. A focused inspection on April 14, 2025 also resulted in no violations. However, an initial sanitation inspection on November 4, 2024 documented 12 violations after the facility was found operating without a valid food permit. High-priority violations included poisonous or toxic materials (cleaning chemical spray bottles) stored above food contact equipment in the produce processing area — the facility corrected this on site during the inspection. Intermediate-priority violations cited the person in charge lacking documented employee health information and the facility lacking written procedures for vomit and diarrhea event cleanup. The inspector provided guidance on both. The facility was required to submit permit payment within 10 days of the November inspection. Subsequent focused inspections indicate the establishment has maintained compliance following the initial findings.
