Disposable gloves are valuable across many industries, as they provide a barrier of protection for hands using sensitive materials. Workers in the food and beverage industry use disposable gloves regularly to prevent the spread of germs and stop contamination. All around the world, disposable gloves are an essential tool in commercial kitchens.
Ensuring you choose the right type of disposable glove is essential for safe food handling. While many disposable glove options are available, nitrile food service gloves are often considered one of the best for ensuring food safety and cleanliness.
Did you know the surface of a typical human hand is covered in more than 2 million microorganisms? Washing your hands can help get rid of some of these bacteria; however, disposable gloves are essential if you want to avoid the spread of foodborne illness. Disposable gloves reduce contact with food and help block the transfer of microorganisms that could potentially cause contamination and disease.
Disposable gloves also protect employees from irritants that could affect their skin, like hot peppers that could burn or garlic that can leave lingering odours.
Nitrile gloves are an excellent option for safe food handling for several reasons. When choosing gloves for handling food, you need to select a strong, durable, and puncture-resistant glove to protect your employees and your customers.
The gloves also need to be suitable for your employees to wear. Unlike latex (with its high allergy rate), Nitrile is almost totally allergy-safe, meaning your employees are unlikely to react to them. Nitrile gloves also won’t contaminate food with potentially harmful allergens or chemicals.
