10 Tri-Cities kitchens flunk their latest health inspections
Ten Mid-Columbia restaurants and kitchens failed missed the mark on their recent health inspections by the Benton-Franklin Health District.
Thirteen others had perfect scores.
The health department released its latest kitchen inspections conducted the week of Sept. 14-20
The district’s food safety team regularly evaluates 1,000 licensed food service establishments for compliance with regulations designed to prevent the spread of food-borne disease.
Those earning 35 or more red points on routine inspections or 25 or more on follow ups are slated for additional visits.
Direct questions or concerns to the health district, 509-460-4205.
