Perfect 10: Local eateries pass inspections with flying colors

Four Mid-Columbia food establishments face re-inspection while 10 earned perfect scores on the latest reports from the Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team.

The health district’s food safety team regularly inspects more than 1,000 licensed food retail establishments, including both stores ad restaurants. Those earning 25 or more red points on routine inspections or 10 on follow-ups are scheduled for additional visits.

Inspectors evaluate establishments on a 418-point scale for sanitation and safety, if workers have the appropriate food worker cards, if managers can answer basic safety questions or if dishwashers meet the required temperature to sanitize dishes.

Past inspection reports are posted at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.

Direct questions or concerns to 509-460-4205.
