3 Tri-Cities eateries fail health inspections
The Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team was slowed by snow the week of Feb. 16-22, but visited 17 establishments.
Three failed and eight earned perfect scores on their health district evaluations.
The team regularly visits 1,000 retail food establishments that serve the public.
Routine inspections with 25 or more of the more serious red points incur a follow-up inspection. Those earning 10 or more on follow-ups receive additional visits.
Red points reflect more serious issues related to sanitation and temperature control that can contribute to food-borne illnesses, while blue points are for less serious issues.
Direct questions and concerns to the health district at 509-460-4205.
