Tri-City restaurant inspections through Feb. 17

Eight restaurants and coffee shops earned perfect marks this week from the Benton-Franklin Health District.

In a typical week, we see one or two perfect scores in the district’s weekly health inspections.

Top scores this week went to Aliona’s Euro-Bake off Road 68 in Pasco, the Taqueria El Asadero in Kennewick, Arby’s in Pasco, Papa John’s Pizza in Richland, Roasters Coffee in Pasco and Starbucks on Gage Boulevard in Richland.

Inspectors also found no problems at the Burger Factory II in Connell and the Connell Food & Gas Mart.

Restaurants that score 25 or more “red” points receive automatic revisits.

Establishments are rated on a state point system that’s based on the federal food code for the conditions in the restaurant at the time of the unannounced visit. The point scale ranges up to 415 points.

Red points reflect more concerning issues requiring immediate attention. An establishment receiving 25 or more red points on a routine inspection must be re-inspected. Blue points indicate situations that need to be fixed, but not immediately. Restaurants receiving 10 or more red points when re-inspected are inspected again.

Past restaurant inspections can be viewed at the health district’s website, bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.

Diners with concerns about an establishment should contact the management or the health department directly.

For questions or concerns, call the health district at 509-460-4205.
