Mixed results in this week’s restaurant inspection list
The Benton-Franklin Health District reported results of 28 food safety inspections for the week ending Jan. 19.
Nine establishments failed and faced re-inspection while 10 earned perfect scores.
The district’s food safety team regularly inspects more than 1,000 licensed food retailers in the Mid-Columbia, rating them on a 418-point scale for sanitation, knowledge and compliance with food safety rules.
Those earning 25 or more of the more serious red points are scheduled for a follow-up, as are those who earn 10 or more red points on re-inspection. Red violations are those most likely to cause food-borne illnesses, such as improper temperature control, failure to wash hands and so forth. Reports are compiled by the health district for publication in the Tri-City Herald.
Past inspections can be viewed at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.
