15 restaurants fail their Mid-Columbia health inspections
The Benton Franklin Health District food safety team had a busy week, giving failing scores to 15 restaurants inspected the week of Nov. 2-8.
Two of those restaurants also failed their re-inspections conducted the same week.
The food safety team passed 33 establishments that handle food with perfect scores, out of the 85 inspections it conducted.
More than 1,000 licensed establishments are inspected for compliance with health department regulations designed to protect public health and prevent the spread of food-borne illness
Those receiving 35 or more of the more serious red violations are required to have additional inspections and must meet a tougher standard — fewer than 25 red points and a limited number of repeat problems.
Call 509-460-4205 with questions or concerns.
