If HR won't help you, go to your local labor board and report them. And if you do go to your local labor board, talk to a lawyer and let them know what's going on.

The FLSA doesn't mandate the provision of meal or rest breaks. States that defer to federal law do not require employers to provide breaks during any length of shift.
In Utah, there are no state laws that mandate employers to provide meal or rest breaks to their employees. However, employers have the discretion to include breaks in their employee benefits package and company policy. If an employer does provide break laws, they must establish clear guidelines for employees to follow.

Generally speaking, yes an employer may require that their employees take breaks, even if they are not required to provide them under the law; there is nothing in the law that would prevent them from doing so.
