7 flunk their Mid-Columbia restaurant inspections
Seven Mid-Columbia restaurants flunked their recent health inspections and three earned perfect scores.
The Benton-Franklin Health District released results for 25 kitchen inspections conducted the week of Aug. 24-30.
The health district’s food safety team regularly inspects 1,000 establishments that serve food to the public, scrutinizing them on a 418-point scale for compliance with regulations designed to prevent the spread of food borne illness.
Those receiving 35 or more of the more serious red points on routine inspections or 25 or more on follow-ups are subject to follow-up inspections.
