Food Safe Gloves

(117 products)

Choosing gloves for cookery comes down to three factors: contact safety, task suitability, and contamination control. Food grade gloves meet EN 1186 standards – meaning they contain only EU-approved substances and won't leach contaminants into food. Nitrile, latex, and vinyl all qualify, but each suits different tasks.

Material selection

Nitrile resists punctures, oils, and fats – ideal for handling raw meat or working with sharp tools. Latex offers excellent tactile sensitivity for delicate prep work. Vinyl (non-powdered) suits short tasks and staff with latex sensitivity.

Single-task hygiene

UK food safety guidance is clear: gloves must be worn for one task only. Hands should be washed before gloving and after removal. This isn't legal requirement – it's contamination control that actually works. Pair with food hygiene disposables like aprons and hairnets for complete compliance.

Key considerations:

  • Food safe nitrile gloves for meat, fish, and oily prep
  • Powder-free options to prevent allergen transfer
  • Single-use discipline prevents cross-contamination
  • EN 1186 compliance guarantees migration limits below 10mg/dm²
