How to compare food-service gloves

  1. Food-contact statement

    the regulation the manufacturer names, shown as stated; “No food-contact statement from the manufacturer” where there is none.

  2. Material

    nitrile, vinyl, poly or hybrid, as the manufacturer names it.

  3. Thickness

    in mil at a stated location; compare the same location. Poly and hybrid gloves often have no published thickness.

  4. Fit and sizes

    sized gloves (S–XL) or one-size poly gloves.

  5. Pack-out

    gloves per box or pack differ widely (100 to 200 per box; poly in hang-tab packs). Compare prices per 1,000 gloves.

About food-service gloves

Food-service gloves are chosen by task and by material. Nitrile is a synthetic rubber; vinyl is PVC; poly gloves are made from polyethylene film; hybrid gloves blend materials in a format the manufacturer names. If your teams use different gloves for prep, the line and cleaning, compare each one against its own task.

A food-service glove’s key document is its food-contact statement. Food-contact compliance concerns the glove’s materials under FDA’s food-additive regulations, and FDA places that responsibility on the manufacturer. Nitrile glove makers commonly cite 21 CFR 177.2600; vinyl, poly and hybrid gloves often cite 21 CFR Part 177 as a whole. We show the regulation each manufacturer names and add no food-safety labels of our own. A food-service glove isn’t a medical device and isn’t for patient care.

We carry PIP’s Ambi-dex Axle nitrile and 64-346PF synthetic gloves, and Tronex’s 8955 vinyl, New Age TX-III hybrid and 2424UNI poly gloves — the poly packed 100 per hang-tab pack, 8,000 per case.
