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

*”You’re still touching everything”*

Well, that’s the problem. Folks in foodservice often don’t get the training they’re supposed to have with proper handling. For example, I’ve seen foodservice workers handle food, then a credit card, then food again. Disgusting!

[Food-safe gloves](https://hourglass-intl.com/are-these-gloves-food-safe/) are supposed to be able to contact food without transferring tastes, smells, and chemicals to the food. If used properly, the worker will only touch food and safe surfaces while preparing/serving food. Then if they touch a dirty surface, they are supposed to take them off (properly) and put on new ones.
