From big box to coffee shop, health department inspects them all

Eight dining establishments failed and 25 passed health department inspections conducted during the week that ended Sept. 22.

Of the 33 establishments reviewed by the Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team, a dozen earned perfect scores.

Inspectors regularly visit more than 1,000 licensed retail food establishments, including restaurants, stores and other venues that sell food to the public. Establishments are rated on a 418-point scale for overall cleanliness, food handling procedures and training.

Those earning 25 or more of the more serious red points receive follow up visits, as do those who earn 10 or more points on the follow-up.

Past inspections can be viewed at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.
