Donald Ross Shell, a convenience store in Palm Beach Gardens, has been subject to 12 stop-sale orders since October 2025, predominantly for controlled substances (kratom or synthetic cannabinoids). On February 3, 2026, FDACS conducted a focused inspection to document the voluntary surrender of controlled substance products for destruction. Five additional controlled substance stop-sale orders issued on that same date remain under investigation; the facility must obtain written release from FDACS or a court order before products can be destroyed. On October 31, 2025, a stop-sale order required destruction of green machine juice found at 45–46°F in a reach-in cooler, below the required 41°F cold-holding temperature; the product was voluntarily destroyed during the inspection. A container requirements violation also resulted in voluntary product destruction on October 15, 2025. The facility's October 15, 2025 re-inspection documented 24 violations including multiple temperature control failures (hot-held chicken burritos at 127–128°F, boiled peanuts at 120°F, cooked beans at 44–51°F), raw beef stored directly above tortilla flour in the walk-in cooler, food-contact equipment not cleaned and sanitized at required intervals, and an employee handwashing violation. Most violations were corrected on site. Six inspections on record between October 15, 2025 and February 3, 2026 show ongoing compliance efforts; the most recent focused inspection on February 3, 2026 required check-back verification.
