Inspections
From Salt Lake County Health Department · 8 inspections on record · Last checked Oct 8, 2026
The county visited 2 times in the last 12 months (2 routine).
Fewer point violations than last time (50 → 45). That takes a team.
The county inspects each food place one to three times a year. It does not say when it will come. How often depends on the place's risk level. Level 1: once a year. Level 2: every 9 months. Level 3: twice a year. Level 4: three times a year. A complaint can bring another visit.

About this record
Open the county's Inspection Reports, choose Food Service, and search for the name.
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.
