1 Tri-Cities restaurant flunked its health inspection Christmas week

The Benton Franklin Health District food safety team gave failing scores to one restaurant inspected Christmas week.

Four Tri-Cities places serving food passed with perfect scores of the six inspected during the holiday week.

In the district’s full inspections, eateries receiving at least 35 points for the more serious red violations are required to have additional inspections and must meet a tougher standard on those. They must have fewer than 25 red points and a limited number of repeat problems to pass.

Call 509-460-4205 with questions or concerns.
