Overview

Ocean Oriental Market, a grocery store in Panama City, experienced a stop-sale order on December 17, 2025 for violations of Florida Food Law involving food and nonfood-contact surfaces. The product was voluntarily destroyed by establishment management and witnessed by the inspector. The facility's most recent inspection on December 17, 2025 documented 10 violations, including three high-priority findings: raw animal food stored over ready-to-eat produce in a reach-in cooler (corrected on site when the manager moved raw products to the bottom shelf), an employee rinsing hands without soap or proper drying (corrected when the manager directed the employee to use soap and paper towels), and an employee failing to wash hands between handling raw foods and clean equipment (corrected immediately). Two intermediate violations were also cited: the establishment lacked written procedures for responding to vomit and diarrhea events, and the three-compartment sink in the boba tea room lacked an air gap between the sewage system and drain. A focused inspection on January 10, 2024 in response to severe weather found no violations.
