Overview

Shell Food Mart in Port St. Lucie has received 4 FDACS inspections over three years with 19 total violations, including recurring priority-level issues with chemical storage and employee hygiene. Chemical storage violations appeared in at least two inspections: sanitizer wipes were stored atop a coffee machine and a sanitizer bucket was positioned on a three-bay sink next to clean food equipment in October 2025 (corrected on site), and a sanitizer bucket was stored directly on food prep tables at the coffee and sandwich stations in May 2022 (also corrected on site). A hand washing violation was cited in May 2022 when an employee did not wash hands between tasks while handling exposed food and working the register; the manager reviewed hand washing procedures during that inspection. A July 2024 focused inspection documented multiple flies observed in the backroom storage area adjacent to the cooler and freezer, and flies around the donut display case in the cashier area. The facility has not had a probe thermometer readily accessible for time-temperature control food items and lacks written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events, both priority-foundation violations cited in the October 2025 inspection. The most recent inspection on October 24, 2025 found 5 violations and was completed after the facility met sanitation inspection requirements.
