The Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team inspected 32 establishments the week of June 23-29, giving failing scores to eight and perfect ones to 13.

Inspectors regularly scrutinize establishments that sell food to the public using a 418-point scale covering sanitation, knowledge and food handling procedures.

Those earning 25 or more red points on routine inspections are subject to follow-ups.

It takes only 10 red points to trigger another re-check. The visits are unannounced and normally take place during regular business hours.

Past results are posted at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php. Direct questions and concerns to 509-460-4205.
