9 restaurants face re-inspection in latest health department reviews

Nine area restaurants and food retailers rated follow-up inspections in this week’s roundup of Benton-Franklin Health District reports.

The district’s food safety team inspects more than 1,000 licensed food service establishments for sanitation, cleanliness and food handling procedures and knowledge. Establishments are rated on a 418-point scale. Red points reflect more serious violations.

Any establishment receiving 25 or more red points on a routine inspection or 10 or more on a follow-up is subject to another visit by the health inspectors.

In this week’s report, six establishments earned perfect scores with no points for red or blue violations.

Past restaurant inspections can be viewed on the Benton-Franklin Health District’s website at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.
