13 restaurants fail while 14 ace their inspections
The Benton-Franklin Health District food safety team inspected 48 establishments that sell or serve food to the public during the week of July 14-20.
Thirteen earned failing scores and 14 earned perfect marks.
The health district scrutinizes kitchens for health code violations that are the most likely to cause food-borne illness, such as improper temperature control of food or poor personal hygiene and bare-hand contact with food.
Those earning 25 or more red points on the 418-point scale are slated for follow-ups, as are those that earn 10 or more on the follow-up.
Past inspections are available at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index
Contact the health district at 506-460-4205 with questions or concerns.
