Overview

K and M Drugs in Clewiston operated without a valid food permit during two FDACS inspections in early 2023. An inspection on January 10, 2023 cited the facility for operating without a current permit and identified six violations, including poisonous or toxic materials (topical ointments and sanitizers) displayed above cold medications and candies in the retail area, which were moved to appropriate display areas during the inspection, and 26 units of Hugs bottled flavored drinks offered for consumer self-service lacking required ingredient and manufacturer labeling. A follow-up focused inspection on April 24, 2023 documented that the permit issue remained unresolved.
