Overview

Earth Origins Market #13 experienced multiple critical food safety violations during a November 2025 inspection, including improper temperature control, cross-contamination, and pest activity. Three stop-sale orders issued on November 20, 2025 required the voluntary destruction of time/temperature control for safety foods that had been cooled improperly or held at unsafe temperatures—a cranberry and walnut chicken salad held at 50°F, pesto and tomatoes held at 49–50°F, and an additional temperature-control food item. Two stop-use orders were also issued: one for pest contamination (a live roach observed on the deli floor) and one for unsanitary equipment. The inspector documented raw shell eggs stored directly above raw produce in the walk-in cooler. All violations cited on November 20 were corrected on site or voluntarily destroyed, and a compliance check-back inspection on December 4, 2025 confirmed that all food safety citations had been resolved. The establishment was required to develop and implement a pest management control program.
