A Richland restaurant and bar has had its food permit suspended after failing an initial inspection and then four follow-ups by the Benton Franklin Health District , the district confirmed Friday.
Flight Tap & Table failed a routine inspection on March 15 with 135 red points and then failed to pass follow-up inspections March 19, May 2, May 31 and July 12.
Health district regulations require an in depth conversation at the district office to delve into the source of problems after four failed follow-up inspections before a permit can be reinstated.
As of the end of business Friday, Flight Tap & Table had not scheduled that meeting and is not allowed to serve food or drinks with ice, such as mixed drinks, this weekend.
It can serve other drinks that do not require a food permit, such as bottled beverages, such as beer, without ice in single-use cups.
In other inspections for the week, the health district’s food safety team gave passing grades on 74 inspections, with 35 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 not keeping hot food hot enough and not keeping cold food cold enough, 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.
