In recent years, people pay special attention to the food raw materials, production environment and operation process in the process of food processing;
In addition, more and more attention has been paid to the protection of workers when processing food. Many companies require employees to wear protective gloves, which can not only provide adequate protection for workers, but also avoid food contamination and the spread of foodborne pathogens.
Food handlers come into contact with a variety of foods and can carry bacteria on their hands, such as Listeria and Salmonella, which can cause foodborne illness after consumption. Disposable gloves can provide a protective barrier between the staff's hands and these bacteria to reduce the chance of staff and consumers being infected.
Food handlers should wear disposable gloves for the protection of food handlers and customers.
Although the food service industry involves different businesses and institutions, they all have one thing in common: vigilance for possible pathogens and protection of employees and consumers from disease hazards. Disposable gloves are the first line of defense against foodborne illness.
Rules for Hand Hygiene and Glove Use:
1. When handling food that is not ready to eat, the staff should expose their hands and arms as little as possible.
2. You must wear gloves or use utensils such as tongs and scrapers when handling food, except for washing fruits and vegetables.
3. Gloves should be used only once. Disposable gloves must be discarded when a worker handles a new task, when the gloves become soiled, or when the task is interrupted.
The use of gloves in food processing should pay attention to the following three points:
1. The food processing industry involves a variety of equipment and kitchen equipment, so many positions require many types of gloves. But no matter what type of gloves, they must meet the principles of food grade.
2. The main component of latex gloves is natural latex, which contains latex protein. In order to avoid protein entering food and causing allergic reactions of customers, the food industry should try to avoid using latex gloves.
3. The food industry usually uses colored gloves, which must be distinguished from the color of the food. To prevent the glove from breaking and falling into the food, it cannot be detected in time.
