Eight establishments fail their Tri-Cities restaurant inspections
The Benton-Franklin Health District released results for 36 kitchen inspections conducted the week of July 5-12.
Eight received failing marks and 16 earned perfect scores.
The health district’s food team inspects more than 1,000 retail food establishments that serve the public for compliance with sanitation and food-handling procedures designed to prevent the spread of food-borne illness.
In a change that took effect in July, establishments receiving 35 or more red points on the 418-point evaluation on routine visits are slated for follow-ups. A score of 25 or more on a follow-up inspection triggers additional follow-ups.
It previously took 25 or more points to trigger a follow-up after a routine inspection and 10 or more on a follow-up.
Call 509-460-4205 with questions or concerns.
