2 Tri-Cities businesses fail their food safety inspections
The Benton Franklin Health District gave failing grades in two inspections of restaurants and other places that sell food and drinks for the week of Dec. 3-9.
In the 38 inspections conducted, the district’s food safety team awarded 21 perfect scores, including to school cafeterias, a supermarket deli and a bakery.
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.
