Orange County Health Care Agency inspects every Anaheim food facility and posts a color-coded letter grade placard at the entrance. A means pass, B requires reinspection, C triggers closure-level corrections.
OC Health Care Agency Environmental Health Division performs unannounced inspections of all Anaheim restaurants, markets, food trucks, and cottage operations under the California Retail Food Code. Each facility receives a numerical score that converts to A (90-100), B (80-89), or C (below 80) and the placard must be visibly posted at the public entrance until the next inspection. Major violations such as cold-holding failures, vermin, or sewage trigger immediate closure. Owners may request a reinspection within thirty days at their own cost to restore an A grade.
Removing, defacing, or hiding the posted placard is a misdemeanor. Operating without a valid public health permit or after closure order results in fines and possible permit revocation by OC HCA.
