What’s the point of food-safe gloves? You’re still touching everything. I don’t get it

Your hands are covered in germs. You don’t want those germs on the food, so you put gloves on, which aren’t covered in germs (hopefully).

Germs generally cannot pass through the glove from your hand to the food.

If you touch something else like a doorknob, then touch the food, you’re not using them correctly. The gloves are meant to be touching ONLY the food. The procedure has to be designed so that touching the food all happens at once, with clean gloves, or the gloves are changed for new ones when you do have to touch something else.

I’m hoping you don’t prepare food for a living. If you do, someone failed to train you properly.
