13 restaurants fail Mid-Columbia inspections

Thirteen establishments failed kitchen inspections during the week of Aug. 11-17, according to the Benton-Franklin Health District.

The district’s food safety team inspected 43 establishments in all. Ten received perfect scores.

All establishments that serve food to the public are subject to inspection. Those that receive 25 or more points on routine inspections or 10 or more on follow-ups are scheduled for additional visits.

Inspectors scrutinize establishments on a 418-point scale for violations most likely to cause food-borne illness, such as improper temperature control and poor personal hygiene.

Past inspections can be viewed at bfhd.wa.gov/food/index.php.
