What is the reason for wearing gloves in the food production process?

Food processors inevitably handle a wide range of food items, some of which may harbor harmful bacteria such as listeria and salmonella that can result in foodborne illnesses. To mitigate the risk of infection to both workers and consumers, the use of disposable gloves is strongly recommended as a protective barrier between the food items and the processors' hands. In accordance with the regulatory standards set forth by the FDA for food contact, it is mandatory for food processors to don disposable gloves to safeguard the quality and safety of their products.
