Who inspects restaurants in Utah

Southeast Utah Health Department food service inspections. Published letter grades.

Coverage: Salt Lake, Carbon, Emery and Grand counties, 4 of 29 counties. All sources

Salt Lake County: Salt Lake County Health Department food protection inspections, from the county's CDP public inspection portal (public.cdpehs.com). GradeLocal counts the critical and non-critical violations cited on the latest inspection: 0 is an A, 1 to 2 is a B, 3 to 5 is a C, and 6 or more is a D. Public records; the county's disclaimer states no reuse restriction.

What Utah publishes

The agencies behind our Utah listings publish the agency’s own letter grades. None of them publish a score out of 100, so every Utah score on GradeLocal is a GradeLocal score, worked out from the official result.

How GradeLocal grades Utah restaurants

When the agency publishes its own letter, we use that letter. When an agency publishes an F, we show it as a D.

Results with no score of their own get a set score for each letter: A is 95, B is 85, C is 72 and D is 50.

There are four letters, A to D, with no F. The same rule applies in every state, and the cutoffs are never adjusted for a state, county or city. We always use the latest inspection.
