13 Tri-Cities area restaurants fail their food health inspections
The Benton Franklin Health District food safety team gave failing scores to 13 Tri-Cities area restaurants and other eateries inspected Jan. 25-31.
In the 76 inspections conducted, the food safety team awarded 21 perfect scores.
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 followup inspections.
