The Benton-Franklin Health District released results of 51 kitchen inspections for the week ending Feb. 16, 2018.

A dozen earned failing scores and face re-inspection, while 22 earned perfect scores.

The health district’s food safety team regularly inspects more than 1,000 licensed food retail and restaurant establishments in the Mid-Columbia. Kitchens are rated on a 418-point scale for compliance with regulations designed to prevent food borne illness, such as cooking and storing food at the right temperature.

Those earning 25 or more of the critical red points on routine inspections or 10 or more on most follow-ups are slated for additional visits.

Past results are posted online at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.
