Abstract: A cellophane sanitary wrap for cutlery, such as a knife, spoon, fork or serving utensil, covers at least the head of the cutlery and not more than a portion of the handle and is sealed around the head except for a small opening for the neck of the head where the handle can be joined to the head, before or after the wrap is applied to the handle. The wrapping is adapted for keeping the head clean until it is pulled clear of said head by a user just prior to use. The wrapping can be easily removed by grasping the uncovered portion of the handle in one hand and the covered portion in the other hand and then pulling the two in opposing directions.
