Restaurant inspectors call on 22, fail 8 on food practices

Eight establishments received failing scores by earning 25 or more “red” points on routine inspections or 10 or more on follow-ups. The department regularly inspects more than 1,000 Mid-Columbia establishments that sell food to the public for food sanitation and handling practices.

Establishments are rated on a 418-point scale for safe food practices. Eight received perfect scores.
