In industrial food processing and food handling – selecting the right safety glove is particularly important to avoid injuries to the hands and skin, and to avoid any health risks posed to consumers from contaminated foodstuffs.
Safety gloves for food handling must be designed so that under normal, foreseeable conditions no elements that are hazardous to human health are transferred to the food (known as migration).
