Food Service Gloves
Latex, nitrile, and vinyl gloves are all great options for food handling: they're contamination-resistant, offer tactile sensitivity, and block bacteria, viruses, and harmful chemicals. Plus, they're inexpensive compared to non-disposable gloves, and can be used for everything from dishwashing to prep cooking and serving.
The food service industry often relies on disposable gloves to protect the public, but also because they do a great job of protecting staff from foodborne illnesses. For large catering events, safety and hygiene is top of mind when meals may not be prepared in the same location where they’re being served, further increasing the potential of contamination.
The Features and Benefits of the Best Disposable Gloves
Nitrile gloves are the most suitable for cross-contamination prevention and protection from abrasive or corrosive chemicals. In contrast, latex gloves offer more comfort and ease of movement and are relatively inexpensive, making them great for medium-duty tasks.
