3 restaurants fail their holiday inspections

The Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team conducted 13 inspections during the short holiday week of Dec. 22-28.

Three failed and five earned perfect scores.

Establishments are scrutinized on a 418-point scale for compliance with regulations designed to prevent the spread of food-borne illness.

Those receiving 35 or more red points on routine inspections or 10 or more on follow ups are slated for added visits.
