Overview

Orange Heights Shell in Hawthorne experienced significant enforcement action in April 2025. On April 16, the facility received multiple stop-use and stop-sale orders for unsanitary equipment and adulterated food. An inspector found raw shell eggs stored directly above ready-to-eat tortillas and beverages in a display cooler, hot-held Cajun Boiled Peanuts measured at 127°F when the minimum required temperature is 135°F, and food-contact surfaces that required cleaning and sanitization. The person in charge could not correctly respond to questions about the facility's employee health policy, and the establishment lacked written procedures for responding to vomitus or diarrhea events. Management voluntarily destroyed affected products under inspector supervision and removed non-compliant equipment from service. A follow-up check-back inspection on April 18 confirmed that all compliance issues had been resolved and equipment was released for use. The facility had 4 inspections on record with no violations cited prior to April 2025.
