3 Tri-Cities area restaurants fail their food health inspections
The Benton Franklin Health District food safety team gave failing scores to three Tri-Cities area restaurants and stores serving food during inspections Feb. 29 to March 6.
In the 25 inspections conducted, the food safety team awarded eight perfect scores.
In the district’s full inspections, businesses or organizations that receive 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.
Call 509-460-4205 with questions or concerns.
