Shell in Lake City
3317 W Us Highway 90, Lake City, FL 32055
Shell convenience store in Lake City has been subject to repeated stop-sale orders for violations of Florida Food Law. Most recently, on November 19, 2025, stop-sale orders were issued for container requirements and labeling violations, with all products voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by the inspector. Prior to that, on October 16, 2025, four additional stop-sale orders were issued for labeling and container requirement violations. Across five inspections from June 2022 to November 2025, the facility accumulated 18 violations. A critical compliance issue emerged in October 2025 when the facility was found operating without a valid food permit, triggering a product re-inspection requirement and nine violations including a plumbing system backflow violation, missing employee health policy, absence of food temperature measuring devices, and lack of sanitizer test strips. The facility's most recent inspection on November 19, 2025 met sanitation requirements with zero violations and marked a release of the stop-sale order, though compliance history shows recurring permit and food safety documentation gaps dating back to June 2022.
