Benefits of Nitrile Gloves for Food Service
Nitrile gloves are well known for their thick and strong material that is not easily ripped or punctured. The rubber used to make nitrile gloves is, most importantly, contaminate-free and additive-free, making it the safest option for gloves in the food service industry. Medical-grade nitrile is also resistant to solvents and chemicals. Nitrile gloves are powder-free and 100% latex-free, making them a preferable choice for those sensitive or allergic to latex. They are resistant to body oils, avoiding unwanted moisture in your gloves while prepping and cooking. Nitrile is also waterproof and greaseproof. GloveBarn’s 5mil blue nitrile gloves are the best food-grade for their durability, comfort, and safety.
Durability
Nitrile material is made of synthetic, durable rubber, protecting from any possible punctures or tears. When handling food in the service industry, you’re surrounded by a lot of metal—pots and pans, knives, appliances, etc.—all of which could puncture your gloves. Once your glove has a tear, you must dispose of it and get a new pair. Choosing a thicker glove that measures 3-6 mil is preferable if you’re looking for durable and dependable gloves. Gloves under 3 mil might be cheaper than thicker ones, but you have to dispose of them more often due to their thin, easily-punctured material. In the food industry, workers often dispose of their gloves multiple times a day because of moisture build-up or a hole in their gloves.
One of the many benefits of nitrile gloves is their hypersensitivity to touch, allowing you to maintain your sense of touch while wearing them. Ensuring your gloves are durable enough for cooking is essential for food safety, work quality, and waste prevention.
Comfortability
Our 5 mil blue nitrile gloves’ thick material offers a comfortable and versatile fit, making it a sustainable option for an entire shift. Nitrile gloves conform to the size of your hands, offering a snug yet breathable fit. They have a low resistance to friction which makes it easy when putting them on and removing them while avoiding any rips or tears. Wearing gloves in an environment that handles food is mandatory, whether in a restaurant, food processing facility, or catering service. It’s essential to guarantee that your gloves are allergen-free to provide wearable and comfortable gloves for all employees.
The quality of nitrile gloves surpasses latex gloves and offers a higher degree of resistance than latex does. People commonly need to double up on their gloves for safety purposes, but with a pair of nitrile gloves, the thick material offers adequate protection. Not only is double gloving costly, but it is also uncomfortable and restricting to the skin. With our 5 mil blue nitrile gloves, you won’t have to worry about wearing more than one pair of gloves. Nitrile’s thick material guarantees better safety when handling food and the comfort and confidence of its dependability.
Safety
Nitrile gloves were certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) due to the fact that nitrile material is free of contaminants and additives, making them the safest and most dependable gloves when it comes to handling food. Medical-grade nitrile gloves resist solvents and chemicals, protecting your skin from any harmful pathogens and contamination. Thinner gloves are more likely to rip or tear when handling food or cooking ware, whereas thicker gloves, like nitrile, are more likely to endure throughout every use.
Nitrile gloves are powder-free, preventing any possible residue left on the food when handling or cooking it. With the long-lasting quality of nitrile gloves, food handlers and food service professionals are likelier to make this their go-to choice for a day on the job.
GloveBarn’s 5mil blue nitrile gloves are the best food-grade gloves providing adequate protection from contamination when prepping and cooking food. While nitrile gloves are known to be more costly, you are paying for their extensive quality and benefits. Safety and protection in the food service industry are critical. You must feel confident when choosing the best gloves for your practice, and with our nitrile gloves, you can.
