Growing Trend Banning Latex Gloves in Food Establishments
Over the past few years, individual states have been legislating the use of latex gloves in retail food establishments. Legislation varies from state to state. Currently Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, and Oregon have some form of legislation or recommendation regarding the use of latex gloves in food handling, food preparation, ready-to-eat foods, and food establishments. A few other states are in discussions about enacting similar legislation in the near future.
Latex gloves are a popular choice due to their comfort and superior elasticity. In food environments, they provide excellent barrier protection. According to a recent study in the Journal of Occupational Health, 4.3% of the general population is affected by latex allergies. Reactions to latex may include itching, swelling, rashes, vomiting and, in extreme cases, even death.
