18 fail restaurant inspections week of Sept. 8-14

4The Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team gave failing marks to 18 of 52 establishments inspected during the week of Sept. 8-14.

A dozen establishments earned perfect marks.

The team regularly inspects more than 1,000 licensed retail establishments that sell the food to the public. Establishments are scrutinized on a 418-point scale for practices that minimize the spread of food-born illness, including temperature control, safety knowledge and sanitation.

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