The department's words
4.3.31 In-Use Utensils - Between-Use Storage
In-use utensils are stored with handles in contact with food.
Food Code 3-304.12 · R392-100
How can a restaurant or home fix this?
Serving utensils
- A separate utensil in every dish, with a handle long enough to stay out of the food.
- Between uses, rest it in one of six places: in the food with the handle up out of it; in a closed bin of dry food that is not TCS food; on a clean, sanitized spot; in running water (moist food like ice cream); in a clean, protected spot (a scoop for food that is not TCS food); or in water at 135°F or above. Never on the bare table, a towel or in another dish.
- Change it when dropped, used in another dish, or touched at the food end, and at least every 4 hours.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
Zero points means the inspector found no problems. Salt Lake County adds points for each problem. Big ones, the kind most likely to make someone sick, add more.
Each violation the inspector finds adds 1, 3 or 6 points, by how likely it is to cause illness. The points add up to the inspection score. The county uses no letter grade.
