FAQs

Are these gloves safe for people with a latex allergy?

No. These gloves are made from natural rubber latex, which can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Can I use these for handling hot food?

These gloves are intended for food handling safety, but they are not heat-resistant. Avoid direct contact with high-temperature surfaces.

Are these gloves reusable?

No, these are single-use, disposable gloves. Reusing them compromises the barrier protection and structural integrity.

What standards do these gloves meet?

They are tested to comply with EC1935/2004 standards for materials intended to come into contact with food.

Do these gloves contain powder?

No, they are strictly powder-free to reduce the risk of irritation and contamination.

Troubleshooting

Gloves tearing during application

Ensure your hands are completely dry before putting the gloves on and avoid long fingernails which can puncture the thin material.

Difficulty putting on the gloves

Check that your hands are free of moisture or lotion, as these can make the latex grip the skin excessively.
