7 failed food safety inspections at Tri-Cities area restaurants, other businesses
The Benton Franklin Health District gave failing grades in seven inspections of restaurants and other businesses that sell food and drinks for the week of Jan. 7 to 13.
One business failed both its initial inspection and its follow-up inspection.
In the 90 inspections conducted, the district’s food safety team awarded 32 perfect scores, including to a winery, a saloon, coffee shops, a movie theater and a restaurant.
In the district’s routine 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 and any violations of individual restaurants.
Go to bit.ly/BFHDinspections. Click on the business name and then on the date of the inspection on the right half of the next page. Look for the “Violations” tab.
