Tasty Island Cuisine in Deland
702 S Spring Garden Ave, Deland, FL 32720This food establishment in DeLand has been subject to multiple enforcement actions for controlled substances, food temperature control failures, and sanitation violations. On September 17, 2025, stop-sale orders were issued for controlled substances (hemp inhalable and edible THC products), adulterated food (boiled peanuts held at 77–78°F instead of the required 135°F minimum), and improper handwashing sink access. The facility voluntarily destroyed the out-of-temperature boiled peanuts and surrendered controlled substance products to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. On October 21, 2025, additional stop-use orders were issued for equipment deficiencies including lack of proper handwashing sink supplies and missing thermometers; all equipment was subsequently repaired or replaced and released. The September 17 inspection documented 25 violations including high-priority findings for contaminated food-contact surfaces (boiled peanut serving spoons and can opener washed only once daily), improper storage of toxic materials (liquid adhesive stored near food-service items), sewage violations (employees discarding mop water into the parking lot), and a pattern of non-compliance by the person in charge regarding hot holding, sanitization, and facility access control. A focused inspection on October 21, 2025 found the boiled peanut machine had been removed from customer service and confirmed compliance with prior enforcement actions. Multiple focused inspections between August 2024 and December 2024 tracked ongoing compliance with earlier stop-use and stop-sale orders issued in July 2024 for ice and controlled substance products.
