12 restaurants and kitchens flunk their Mid-Columbia health inspections

The Benton Franklin Health District food safety team gave failing scores to 12 restaurant and other commercial kitchens inspected in the week of Nov. 9-15

Fifteen passed with perfect scores, out of a total of 45 inspected.

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.
