10 fail latest Mid-Columbia restaurant inspections
The Benton-Franklin Health District’s food safety team released results for 38 kitchen inspections conducted the week of Oct. 12-18.
Ten failed and 12 earned perfect scores.
Establishments that serve food to the public are scrutinized on a 418-point scale for compliance with health codes designed to prevent the spread of food borne illness.
The inspection covers food condition, temperature control, sanitation, hand washing practices, if food workers have the proper cards and other topics.
Those receiving 35 or more of the more serious red points on routine inspections or 25 or more on follow-ups face additional inspections.
