13 flunk their Mid-Columbia restaurant inspections
The Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team inspected 67 restaurants and kitchens that serve food to the public during the week of April 26-May 3.
Thirteen failed and 33 earned perfect scores on the evaluation.
Inspectors evaluate establishments on a 418-point scale for issues that are most likely to cause food-borne illness, including temperature control, personal hygiene and knowledge of safe food handling practices.
Those earning 25 or more of the more serious red points on routine inspections are slated for a follow-up. It takes 10 points to trigger a follow-up on the second and subsequent visits.
The week before 10 failed and 29 earned perfect scores.
Call the health district at 509-460-4205 with questions or concerns.
