Home kitchens face food and service limits
Beginning May 7, 2025, Utah home kitchen operators can provide food only directly to consumers, not wholesalers or retailers. They cannot let customers eat operator-provided food onsite or provide molluscan shellfish. Operators must ensure customers receive food within a safe time based on how long it can be held safely. This handoff rule does not set a fixed number of hours.
Home kitchens gain flexibility with temperature checks
Beginning May 7, 2025, Utah classifies food as time-and-temperature-controlled only when it needs both controls for safety, rather than either. Home kitchen operators can cook and serve these foods the same day. They can also serve or distribute them within 72 hours after preparation, with added safety steps. For that option, operators must log each food’s proper hot- and cold-holding temperatures at least every two operating hours. They must record refrigerator and freezer temperatures at each operating day’s start and end, and every four operating hours. Operators must keep temperature logs for 90 days. They must also consistently mark food with the time and date it must be sold or discarded.
