Health Inspections in Multnomah County: Bamboo Sushi, McMenamins Edgefield, and Ben & Esther’s Vegan Jewish Deli

Health Inspectors’ Report: Multnomah County Restaurant Scores for June

In June, health inspectors identified numerous Multnomah County restaurants that achieved perfect scores of 100, while others fell short. This evaluation occurs through unannounced inspections conducted by the county’s public health department, which assesses compliance with health codes across three main categories:

1. Priority Items: Violations directly linked to foodborne illness prevention (e.g., discarding contaminated food).
2. Priority Foundation Items: Issues needing management actions or equipment to minimize health hazards (e.g., proper food labeling).
3. Core Items: General sanitation and facility maintenance violations.

Establishments begin with a score of 100, with deductions of 3-5 points for high-priority infractions. A score of 70 or above is considered passing, with results displayed via a placard at each venue.
