**Item 4. Description of Securities.**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.**

Not applicable.

**Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") authorizes a corporation's board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents.

The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") contain provisions that limit the liability of the Registrant's directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, the Registrant's directors and officers will not be personally liable to the Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors or officers, except liability for the following:

● with respect to directors, any breach of their duty of loyalty to the Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders;

● any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● with respect to directors, unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL;

● with respect to officers, derivative claims brought on behalf of the Registrant; or

● any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit.

The Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Registrant or, while serving as a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Certificate of Incorporation further provides for the advancement of expenses to each of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

The Registrant has obtained liability insurance policies for the officers and directors that, subject to certain limitations, terms and conditions, will insure them against losses arising from wrongful acts (as defined by the policy) in their capacity as directors or officers.

Further, the Registrant has entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements will require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. The Registrant believes that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.

**Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.**

Not applicable.

(4) ***Instruments defining the rights of security holders, including indentures.***

(i) All instruments defining the rights of holders of the equity
or debt securities being registered including, where applicable, the relevant portion of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of
the registrant.

(ii) Except as set forth in paragraph (b)(4)(iii) of this Item for
filings on Forms S-1, S-4, S-11, N-14, and F-4 under the Securities Act (§ 239.11, 239.25, 239.18, 239.23 and 239.34 of this chapter)

(iii) Where the instrument defines the rights of holders of long-term
debt of the registrant and its consolidated subsidiaries and for any of its unconsolidated subsidiaries for which financial statements
are required to be filed, there need not be filed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Any instrument with respect to long-term debt not being registered

on a consolidated basis and if there is filed an agreement to furnish a copy of such agreement to the Commission upon request;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Any instrument with respect to any class of securities if appropriate

or be accompanied by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) A reasonably itemized and informative table of contents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) A cross-reference sheet showing the location in the indenture
of the provisions inserted pursuant to sections 310 through 318(a) inclusive of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

**Item 9. Undertakings.**

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration
Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. *provided, however*, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Healthy Choice Wellness Corp. certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Hollywood, State of Florida, on July 22, 2025.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Healthy Choice Wellness Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the proposed issuance by the Corporation of up to 2,626,968 shares (collectively, the "Shares"), of the Corporation's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable pursuant to the terms of and in the manner set forth in the Healthy Choice Wellness Corp. 2024 Incentive Award Plan, (the "2024 Plan").

As counsel to the Corporation, we have examined and are familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the 2024 Plan, the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as currently in effect, as further amended, the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Corporation as currently in effect, as further amended, the relevant corporate proceedings of the Corporation, the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") covering the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the 2024 Plan, and such other corporate records, certificates, other documents, and questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and when the Shares have been duly issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Plan, as applicable, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We express no opinion as to the applicability or compliance with or effect of federal law or the law of any other jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
