The Benton Franklin Health District gave 16 failing grades in food safety inspections of restaurants and other establishments selling food in the Tri-Cities area April 27 to May 3.
[–>
The health district’s food safety team gave passing grades on 39 inspections, with 17 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 adequate 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.
