Overview

Target #1935 in West Palm Beach has been subject to multiple enforcement actions within months. A stop-use order issued October 29, 2025 required the removal of unsanitary equipment after food-contact surfaces were found unclean, citing FS 500.04 and FS 500.172. The same date, a stop-sale order resulted in the voluntary destruction of adulterated products (dented cans of chicken noodle soup and chicken and sausage gumbo) witnessed by the inspector, also under FS 500.04.

An October 29, 2025 sanitation inspection documented 13 violations, including a repeat priority violation for poisonous or toxic materials improperly stored over prepackaged beverages in the back room (corrected on site), dented cans in the retail section (voluntarily discarded), old food debris on a deli meat slicer (sanitized during inspection), dead ants in the dry storage area near a sandwich walk-in cooler, and deficiency in the person in charge's ability to answer questions on foodborne illness prevention. Most violations were corrected on site. A focused inspection on February 17, 2026 found no violations and involved sample collection. An earlier focused inspection on August 12, 2024 noted that a prior stop-use order from July 20, 2021 remained in effect.
