Overview

Shortys Market in Key West has been subject to multiple stop-sale orders since August 2025. On August 27, 2025, FDACS issued stop-sale orders for seven misbranded products (labeling violations under FS 500.04 and 500.11), all of which were voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. The same date produced two additional stop-sale orders for products attractive to children under FS 581.217(7)(e), both voluntarily destroyed. On September 24, 2025, a stop-sale order was issued for a controlled substance under ss. 893.03(1)(a) and 893.035, F.S., which was voluntarily surrendered to FDACS for destruction. A focused inspection on September 24, 2025 resulted in release of the stop-sale order after the product was surrendered. An August 27, 2025 product re-inspection found 11 violations and required the establishment to provide documentation within 30 days that water comes from an approved source. A prior inspection on August 21, 2023 documented a high-priority cross-contamination violation (raw shell eggs stored directly above ready-to-eat cooked lunch meats), corrected on site, and an intermediate violation for the person in charge not responding correctly to employee health questions.
