Overview

Green Apple Meat Market in Hobe Sound has experienced significant enforcement activity centered on temperature control failures and adulterated products. Between October 14 and October 28, 2025, seven stop-sale orders were issued requiring voluntary destruction of products found in violation of Florida Statutes 500.04 and 500.10. Four orders cited improper time and temperature control for safety foods—products either held at unsafe temperatures or cooled improperly. Two additional orders cited adulterated products not in good condition from approved sources. One order involved cold-holding temperature violations. All products were voluntarily destroyed under inspector witness.

The October 14, 2025 re-inspection documented 32 violations across multiple critical areas. High-priority findings included raw shell eggs and chorizo stored directly above ready-to-eat beef and pulled chicken in the walk-in cooler, chicken cooked to only 115–142°F instead of the required 165°F minimum, beef curry cooled overnight to 61°F in the cooler, mixed fruit cups held at 43°F in a reach-in cooler, and various sauces (salsa, salsa verde, pico de gallo) held at 42–45°F instead of 41°F or below. An intermediate-priority finding noted a pattern of non-compliance regarding the person in charge and deficiencies in hand washing, cold holding, and sanitization. The restroom doors opening into the food preparation area triggered a 30-day corrective deadline with threatened stop-use and stop-sale orders if not resolved.

A follow-up inspection on October 28, 2025 found 15 violations. Hot-held steak and pepper were measured at 115°F and reheated to 165°F during the visit. Cold-held sauces were voluntarily discarded. A food employee donned gloves before hand washing, triggering a policy discussion and hand-washing correction. The pattern-of-non-compliance finding and lack of a designated person in charge during initial arrival were noted again. The facility was issued a check-back requirement for the restroom door violation.

The most recent inspection on November 19, 2025 found zero violations. Five total inspections are on record spanning 2024 and 2025, with no violations
