Food Preparation Gloves: When and why

When preparing food, it's important to take steps to prevent cross-contamination and keep your food safe. One of the best ways to do this is to wear disposable gloves.

Food preparation gloves are gloves that are specifically designed to be worn while handling food. They are made from a variety of materials, including latex, nitrile, and vinyl. Most of them being disposable. They are made from a thin, lightweight material that is designed to be worn once and then discarded. 

No matter what type of food preparation gloves you choose, it's important to make sure that they fit properly. Gloves that are too tight can be uncomfortable and difficult to work in, while gloves that are too loose can slip off and contaminate food.

It's also important to change your gloves frequently. Gloves should be changed after handling raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Gloves should also be changed if they become soiled or torn.

By wearing food preparation gloves, you can help to prevent cross-contamination and keep your food safe.
