10 Tri-Cities area restaurants fail their food health inspections

The Benton Franklin Health District gave failing grades in 10 inspections of restaurants and other businesses that sell food and drinks for the week of Nov. 26 to Dec. 2.

In the 71 inspections conducted, the district’s food safety team awarded 22 perfect scores, including to a winery, a coffee bar, school cafeterias and convenience stores.

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.

The Tri-Cities based health district has ramped up food inspections as fewer resources have been needed for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inspection results are posted online so residents can look up the status of individual restaurants.
