KISSIMMEE, FL. Inspectors visiting Stone & Current on West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway on May 27 found the seafood restaurant was sourcing food from unapproved or unknown suppliers, a violation that means some of what customers were served had never passed through a USDA or FDA inspection checkpoint.
That was one of six high-severity violations documented in a single visit. The restaurant was not closed.
What Inspectors Found
The unapproved food source violation is compounded by a second finding that is specific to a seafood operation: inspectors cited inadequate shell stock identification records. Oysters, clams, and mussels require harvest tags that trace each batch to a specific body of water and date. Without those records, there is no way to identify the source if a customer becomes ill.
Inspectors also found that at least one employee was not reporting symptoms of illness, and that employees were using improper handwashing technique. Both violations were cited on the same inspection.
The restaurant was also found to be using time as a public health control without doing so properly. When a kitchen uses time rather than temperature to manage food safety, food is permitted to stay in the bacterial growth range, but only within strict limits and with documentation. Those limits were not being followed.
A consumer advisory was also absent. State rules require restaurants serving raw or undercooked seafood to post a written warning on the menu. Stone & Current had none.
On the intermediate level, inspectors cited improper sewage or wastewater disposal, multi-use utensils that were not properly cleaned, and inadequate or improperly maintained toilet facilities. Three separate failures in basic sanitation infrastructure, documented in the same visit.
What These Violations Mean
The combination of unapproved food sources and missing shell stock records at Stone & Current is particularly serious for a seafood restaurant. Food from unverified suppliers has not been inspected for Listeria, Salmonella, or other pathogens at any government checkpoint. For shellfish specifically, the absence of harvest tags means that if a customer developed vibriosis or norovirus after eating oysters, investigators would have no starting point to trace the source or pull contaminated product from other restaurants.
The illness-reporting failure adds a direct human transmission route on top of the sourcing problem. Norovirus is shed in stool and vomit and can be transmitted to food by an infected worker handling it. If that worker does not report symptoms and does not wash hands properly, which was also cited here, the risk of customer illness is not theoretical.
The time-control violation means food was sitting in the temperature range where bacteria double roughly every 20 minutes, without the documentation required to confirm it was discarded on time. The missing consumer advisory means customers who are pregnant, elderly, or immunocompromised had no written notice that they were ordering raw or undercooked seafood.
The sewage disposal citation is not a paperwork problem. Improperly handled wastewater introduces fecal bacteria into the facility environment, and it does so in a kitchen where the handwashing was already documented as inadequate.
The Longer Record
The May 2026 inspection was the 19th on record for Stone & Current. Across those 19 visits, the facility has accumulated 203 total violations. The restaurant has never been emergency-closed.
The inspection history shows that high-severity violations are not new here. In March 2023, inspectors found 10 high-severity violations on two consecutive days, March 15 and March 16. Four months later, in July 2023, inspectors returned twice in a single day and found 11 high-severity violations on the first visit and 7 on the second.
The numbers dropped after that stretch, but did not disappear. The December 2024 inspection found 3 high-severity violations. The May 2025 inspection found 3 high-severity violations. The May 2026 inspection, the most recent, found 6.
That is the highest single-visit high-severity count since the back-to-back inspections of July 2023. The facility has had high-severity violations cited on every inspection in the record going back to at least January 2024.
Still Open
Florida's emergency closure authority is triggered when an inspector determines that conditions pose an immediate threat to public health. Six high-severity violations at a seafood restaurant, including food from unverified sources, missing shellfish traceability records, an employee not disclosing illness symptoms, and improper sewage disposal, did not meet that threshold on May 27.
Stone & Current remained open after the inspection.
