Overview

Shannons Produce & Nursery in Zephyrhills has been subject to significant temperature control violations across its produce operations. A stop-sale order issued September 2, 2025 required destruction of time/temperature control produce after cold holding temperatures were not maintained, with the product voluntarily destroyed under inspector supervision. The facility's most recent inspection on that same date documented 10 violations, including a priority citation for toss salads measured at 44°F in the retail cooler at 12:30 pm (requiring 41°F or below), which were immediately removed and rapidly cooled to proper temperature and verified by the inspector. Additional violations cited included absence of a designated person in charge during operating hours, lack of verifiable employee health reporting documentation, and missing temperature measuring equipment; a thermometer was obtained by end of visit. An April 2023 inspection found similar temperature control failures with cut and packaged watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe measured between 42–43°F in the cooler and sliced watermelon at 73°F on a self-service display, all of which were voluntarily discarded. That inspection also documented gaps in employee food safety knowledge and absence of written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events. A focused hurricane assessment visit in September 2023 resulted in no violations.
