Overview

Multiple stop-sale orders issued on December 22, 2025 required the immediate removal of products from 27 Discount Beverage in Haines City. Four stop-sale orders cited controlled substance violations under Florida Statutes 893.03(1)(c), citing products containing prohibited substances. Six additional stop-sale orders cited labeling violations under Florida Food Law; these products were voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. A product re-inspection on the same date documented eight violations including raw shell eggs stored over ready-to-eat foods in a reach-in cooler (corrected on site), utensils with food debris buildup for boiled peanuts (cleaned and sanitized during inspection), missing handwashing sink soap and hand drying provisions (corrected during inspection), and absence of written procedures for responding to vomitus or diarrhea discharge events. The establishment was also found operating beyond the scope of its food permit and was required to remit appropriate permit fees within ten days. A focused inspection on January 6, 2026 found zero violations; however, the original stop-sale order remains in effect pending written release from FDACS following corrections and required documentation.
