13 failed food safety inspections of Tri-Cities restaurants, other businesses
The Benton Franklin Health District gave failing grades in 13 food safety inspections of restaurants and other establishments selling food in the Tri-Cities area from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5.
They included two homes for seniors.
The health district’s food safety team gave passing grades on 54 inspections, with 26 of those awarded perfect scores.
In the district’s routine inspections, businesses or organizations that receive at least 35 points for the more serious red violations are required to have additional inspections and must meet a tougher standard on those.
To pass followup inspections, they must have fewer than 25 red points and fewer than 10 repeat red points for previous issues.
Scores of 85 or more red points result in establishments remaining on probation until they pass two follow-up inspections, the first one within 72 hours.
Red violations are those most likely to cause food-borne illnesses, such as improper temperature control of food, lack of handwashing or bare-hand contact with foods.
Blue violations are low risk factors related to the cleanliness and physical condition of an establishment.
No notice is given before the inspections.
Businesses may have separate inspections of business lines with different health safety risks, such as grocery sales and a deli that prepares food.
Inspection results are posted online so residents can look up the status and the details of any violations of individual restaurants or check other businesses.
