Policy of Disposable Gloves Handing in Food Preparations

Friday, June 1, 2012


Disposable Glove

  Disposable non latex, vegetable starch powdered, or powder free light weight gloves will be available in high risk kitchen/catering/manufacturing areas.
·         These are to be used when direct hand contact with food is necessary e.g. Ready-to-eat foods, such as salads and sandwiches; food that is not later cooked
·         Disposable gloves must be changed when they become contaminated, soiled or torn, or when the food service worker leaves the food preparation area. They should also be changed frequently to minimize build-up of perspiration and bacteria inside the glove.
·         Disposable gloves worn during preparation of raw foods, such as uncooked meat and poultry, must not be used to prepare ready-to-eat food. Use raw food gloves just for raw foods and ready-to-eat food gloves just for those foods.
·         Ready to eat grill foods, a glove can be worn on the hand that is used to prepare ready-to-eat ingredients, leaving the other hand uncovered for placing raw ingredients on the grill.
·         Heavy duty plastic gloves are provided for washing up and cleaning duties.
·        
IMPORTANT  – Gloves do not replace the need for frequent  hand washing because it is effective in reducing contamination.
