Accumulating evidence along with new research conducted by international scientific food safety consultant Barry Michaels, in association with Eagle Protect PBC, has found disposable glove choices may significantly contribute to the spread of Listeria and other hand/glove transmitted pathogens in the food processing and handling zones.
Eagle Protect nitrile gloves tested had surface free energy and transfer characteristics similar to Teflon, due to quality raw material formulation and manufacturing processes. Bacteria and microorganisms did not stick well to these gloves, reducing the risks of potential cross-contamination in ready-to-eat foods.
