Overview

Markk Holdings, a convenience store in Pembroke Pines, received stop-sale and stop-use orders on February 10, 2026 following an inspection conducted in response to a food safety complaint.

The inspection documented 11 violations, including priority-foundation citations for the person in charge's inadequate knowledge of foodborne illness prevention and employee reporting responsibilities, absence of written procedures for vomiting and diarrheal event response, missing sanitizer test kit at the three-compartment sink, insufficient hot water capacity, and lack of hand cleaning supplies at the backroom handwashing sink. The inspector provided guidance documents on employee health, hemp and kratom product regulations, and cleanup procedures.
