3 places to eat failed their health inspection

The Benton-Franklin Health District’s foods safety team inspected 23 restaurants and food servers during the week of Nov. 17-23.

Three places failed and 13 earned perfect scores.

The district regularly inspects more than 1,000 licensed food service establishments, including retailers, schools and restaurants. Establishments are rated on a 418-point scale for compliance with health safety laws meant to prevent the spread of food-borne illness.

Those earning 25 or more red points for the more serious violations, such as poor sanitation or temperature control, are subject to additional visits, as are those who earn 10 or more points on a followup.

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

Direct questions and concerns to 509-460-4205.
