20 fail Mid-Columbia restaurant inspections

Tri-City Herald - 11/5/2018

Nov. 04--Twenty Mid-Columbia restaurants failed their health district inspections, according to results from the week of Oct. 20-26.

The Benton-Franklin Health District's food safety team conducted 47 inspections. In addition to those that require follow-up, 17 earned perfect scores on the 418-point scale.

Establishments are scrutinized for safe food handling processes, sanitation and overall knowledge of food safety.

Those earning 25 or more red points on routine inspections or 10 or more on follow-ups receive extra visits. "Red" violations are those that are most likely to cause illness, such as improper temperature control, lack of hand washing or bare-hand contact with food.

Past inspections are available on the district's website at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.

Direct questions or comments to the district at 509-460-4205.
