FloridaFoodSafety.org indexes 325 FDA Food Code citation codes issued during retail food inspections of grocery stores, convenience stores, manufacturers, and food service operators regulated by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A total of 175,206 violations have been cited across these establishments since January 2022. Stop-sale and stop-use orders represent a separate enforcement category: 158,995 orders requiring immediate product removal have been issued across 302 distinct product categories, including adulterated products, temperature violations, labeling defects, controlled substances, and products deemed attractive to children under Florida law. Each citation code and stop-sale category page contains citation frequency, affected facilities, and trends in compliance.
Sourced from Florida FDACS public inspection records, Jan 2022–present.
FDACS citation codes use the FDA Food Code alphanumeric format (e.g. 3-501.16, 6-501.11). The leading number identifies the FDA Food Code chapter. Unlike DBPR's numeric codes (V01–V58), FDACS codes map directly to the federal Food Code sections. Each code has a dedicated reference page with inspector observations, top facilities, and county data from FDACS public records.
