DOES A DISPOSABLE GLOVE = FOOD SAFETY? NO.

When using inferior food service gloves with no specified AQL, we couldn’t agree more!  Human hands can contain millions of microorganisms, and combined with a glove puncture, what has been described as a “liquid bridge” of microbial contamination can flow to contact surfaces of food. HUMAN HANDS CAN CONTAIN MILLIONS OF MICROORGANISMS, AND COMBINED WITH A GLOVE PUNCTURE, A “LIQUID BRIDGE” OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION CAN FLOW TO FOOD.     WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? 1. Incorrect hand hygiene practices. 2. putting on and removing gloves.  Proper glove usage  reduces    cross-contamination between a worker’s skin, gloves and food. 3. Cheap glove types  used to handle food. 4. Punctures or tears in inferior gloves. Inferior disposable gloves  can be vehicles that spread pathogens and cause foodborne illness. However, the risks of spreading pathogens, and ultimately foodborne illnesses, when wearing gloves are mitigated with correctly enforced food safet...

Often called the best disposable gloves of the safety glove industry, nitrile gloves are popular disposable glove choice because of their high levels of chemical resistance – including resistance to certain acids - especially when compared to latex or vinyl gloves.   Nitrile: The chemical resistant glove "Hand protection must be worn in this area" signNitrile gloves are a synthetic rubber glove which is latex-free and designed to protect against a range of hazardous materials. Nitrile gloves’ acid resistance, in particular, makes them superior to other types of gloves in many important ways.

Vinyl gloves are used in a huge variety of household and commercial applications, and since their arrival on the market decades ago, are still one of the most popular types of disposable safety glove. Generally cheaper than their latex or nitrile counterparts, vinyl gloves are an excellent low-cost, everyday glove solution, especially in workplaces where regular donning and removal are required.   Are vinyl gloves powder free? Whilst powder has become less popular in glove manufacturing over recent years, not all vinyl gloves are powder free, and many manufacturers now offer both powdered and non-powdered glove varieties.   The powder coating in disposable gloves, which is most often cornstarch, is aimed at making donning the gloves easier, thus reducing the risk of tearing. Unfortunately, the powdered cornstarch in gloves can be a potential hazard for workplaces, as the powder can act as a carrier for airborne particles and cause contamination of the workplace, materials, and...
