Teriyaki eatery gets 75 red points. Here are Pierce Co. food scores for Oct. 26

The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department usually inspects over 100 establishments each week, whether that be a restaurant, coffee stand, grocery store or school cafeteria. While most of those establishments pass the inspection, some need extra help. During a routine inspection, each establishment is graded on a points system. Red points are tacked on for critical violations, which are likely to cause foodborne illness, according to the health department. Examples include improper handwashing and poor temperature control. Most critical violations are corrected on site during the inspection, according to the health department. Blue points are tacked on for non-critical violations, which could lead to critical violations if they’re not corrected. Examples include improper cleaning of equipment or some maintenance issues. Most establishments are inspected between one and four times a year. Establishments that receive between 0 and 30 points get a passing score, while establishments that receive 35 or more red points are required to be re-inspected by the health department. If establishments have repeated critical violations, they could be closed down by the health department. Establishments can also be closed for an imminent health hazard, like a fire, a flood or a loss of power. Even if establishments have more
