Small changes can yield big rewards when it comes to kitchen supplies. Every purchasing decision provides an opportunity to maximize budget and improve the restaurant as a whole.

One purchasing adjustment, which can go a long way, is to consider moving away from latex single-use gloves and try a less expensive, more sustainable option like nitrile.

FoodHandler has introduced a new product called JobSelect® Comfort™ Nitrile gloves that provides the durability and predictable cost of nitrile without sacrificing comfort, dexterity and touch sensitivity.

The cost of natural rubber latex has increased 190 percent over the past 24 months, driving up the price of disposable latex gloves. Experts expect this trend to continue – increasing by another 40 percent or more.

In addition, they’ve rolled out a more efficient packaging system called Advantage Pack. The 4/250 pack size requires less storage space than the typical 10/100 configuration. Advantage Pack also reduces waste by 40 percent, helping restaurants achieve important sustainability goals:
  • 64 percent less corrugate 
  • 59 percent smaller case cube
  • 40 percent less solid waste overall

In recent years, demand has risen for an alternative to latex gloves. Besides the steadily rising cost of latex, another pressing problem facing the foodservice industry is the issue of latex allergies.

Natural rubber latex is a protein that can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals when they are exposed to the airborne proteins through skin contact or inhalation. The problems can be so severe, in fact, that many states have passed laws banning or recommending against the use of latex.

FoodHandler now offers a viable solution with the introduction of JobSelect® Comfort™ Nitrile gloves. Comfort Nitrile gloves utilize a lighter, thinner nitrile that is twice as strong as standard nitrile – but with softness and pliability comparable to latex. In addition to providing a safe alternative to latex, the gloves also offer:
  • Enhanced touch sensitivity
  • Increased elongation
  • Outstanding durability
  • Greater dexterity 
  • More comfortable fit

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates that one in every 1,000 people develops a latex allergy. Although rare, the condition has a higher rate of occurrence among health care workers and others who regularly wear latex gloves (from 5 to 15 percent).

Unfortunately, eliminating the problem is not as simple as keeping the gloves off the hands of chefs with allergies. Another major concern is the possibility that a customer with a latex allergy might have a reaction to food prepared by latex-clad hands.
