Overview

Watford Food Mart in Panama City Beach received multiple stop-sale orders on March 21, 2025 requiring the immediate removal of controlled substances and misbranded hemp products. Two stop-sale orders cited controlled substance violations under Florida Statutes Chapter 893 and cited prerolls branded LOST THC Frosted Crush (Fadedvapes) and LOST THC-A 35% (LOST Distribution). An additional nine stop-sale and release orders required destruction of vape and preroll products found to violate Florida Statute 581.217 as attractive to children (Faded, Happi, and Flying Horse brands) or misbranded under labeling requirements (GEEK THC, FADED, and LOST THC prerolls, and Happi vapes). All products marked for destruction were voluntarily destroyed by facility management and witnessed by the inspector. A follow-up product re-inspection on October 8, 2025 confirmed that concerns from the prior enforcement action had been addressed, though the original stop-sale order remained in effect pending release from FDACS.
