The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services issued a stop-use order on Per'La Specialty Roasters' processing and packaging operations due to repeat sanitary violations. Inspectors cited the company for lacking required handwashing and utensil-sanitizing sinks, as well as improper hygiene practices by employees during the roasting process.
