7 Days Food Store in Ocala

Last inspected:

2002 Nw 1st Ave, Ocala, FL 34475
Overview

Seven stop-sale orders issued on November 19, 2024 required the immediate removal of controlled substance products (kratom) and misbranded items from this Ocala convenience store. Six orders cited controlled substance violations under Florida Statute 893.03(1)(c)190 and were released to FDACS custody for transfer to law enforcement. Four additional orders for misbranded products under FS 500.04 and FS 500.11 were similarly released to law enforcement custody. Prior to the November enforcement action, the facility had been subject to a stop-sale order issued April 11, 2024 for controlled substances; inspectors conducted five focused check-back inspections between May and October 2024, each documenting that stopped products remained onsite and that a court order obtained by law enforcement might be required before destruction could proceed. The most recent inspection on January 26, 2026 documented a sanitation inspection with 5 violations, including raw shell eggs stored directly above packaged beverages (corrected on site) and motor oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid stored on shelving directly above packaged beverages (corrected on site). The facility has had 8 inspections on record since January 2022 with no other food safety violations documented.
