23 earn perfect scores on Tri-City restaurant inspections

Food safety inspectors gave perfect scores to almost half of the 50 eateries inspected during the week of Sept. 29-Oct. 5.

The Benton-Franklin Health District regularly inspects more than 1,000 licensed establishments that sell or serve food to the public.

Of the 50 establishments visited, 23 earned perfect scores and six earned failing ones.

Those earning 25 or more red points on a 418-point scale are slated for follow-up visits. Those earning 10 or more points on follow-ups are reinspected as well.

Inspectors scrutinize restaurants and other food-service establishments for safe food handling practices to prevent the spread of food-born illness.

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