Rating restaurants: How clean is your favorite eatery?
Those are some of what health inspectors consider "critical violations," or the infractions most likely to contribute to food-borne illness if not corrected quickly. Inspectors say that finding even one critical violation may be too many.
But Salt Lake Valley Health Department restaurant inspectors found a whopping 27,168 of them during 2003 and 2004 (plus another 67,135 lesser infractions).

Inspectors found an average of five critical violations every time they examined a full-service restaurant. At fast-food restaurants, they found an average of almost three. Other food-serving establishments, from nursing homes to bars, schools, theater snack bars and more, tended to average one or two critical violations each.
That's according to a computer-assisted analysis of electronic records for nearly 10,000 inspections during 2003 and 2004. The data were obtained by the Deseret Morning News through a state open records law request.
The analysis shows which restaurants had the most violations per inspection and the fewest, with 25 establishments averaging 13 or more critical violations per inspection, while 30 had perfect scores with no violations of any kind during the two years.
