Unsafe conditions, listeria discovered at Florida meat market
Over 3,000 pounds of meat were ordered not to be sold and to be destroyed at two Penn
Dutch Food Center locations in south Florida. Health inspectors from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Food Safety, found unsafe conditions, including water dripping from the ceilings and from overhead fans into coolers that contained the meat products.
