Attention, Walmart shoppers: An inspection says a Broward store had mold on meat
Chicken vulnerable to bad bacteria buildup and meat already marred by mold caused a Walmart Neighborhood Market to get the lowest state inspection result possible on Tuesday.
“Re-Inspection Required” read the report on the Dania Beach Walmart supermarket at 401 E. Sheridan St. from Florida Department of Agriculture inspectors Francis Odio and Ashley Montanez Bradshaw. Though only a four-page inspection with eight violations, the inspectors saw enough to require they return to the store by Sept. 3.

In the retail area’s meat reach-in cooler, a package of marinated ribs “was found with white, mold-like substances.” That’s a Stop Sale on that package of ribs.
The open air cooler near the deli contained rotisserie chicken that the cooler should have been keeping at or under — usually, well under — 41 degrees for safe cool keeping, but measured 43 to 45 degrees. Stop Sales came down on multiple packs of chicken.
The backroom dairy walk-in cooler had “standing water on the floor.”
