Overview

Orion Mart, a convenience store in Margate, has received multiple enforcement actions for labeling violations and equipment deficiencies. Between March 2024 and January 2026, six stop-sale orders were issued on January 13, 2026 for misbranded products under Florida Statutes 500.04 and 500.11; all products were voluntarily destroyed by management and witnessed by the inspector. On March 26, 2024, a stop-sale order required destruction of a product for handwashing sink deficiencies, and five stop-use orders were issued for equipment brands Frazil, Conbeq, Ascaso (two units), and Crockpot — all citing unsanitary equipment and improper handwashing sink access under FS 500.04 and 500.172. The facility was cited for operating without a valid food permit in both inspections. The January 2026 inspection documented 17 violations including failure of the person in charge to correctly answer questions about foodborne disease transmission and absence of written procedures for vomitus and diarrhea event response. The March 2024 inspection identified 8 violations. No routine food safety inspections with standard pass/fail determinations are on record.
