The article presents a discussion of the relative merits of using gloves in the food service industry. Many states have mandated the use of gloves among food handlers. However, recent studies have found that chemicals from latex and vinyl gloves can leak into foods being handled. Another concern is that people wearing gloves do not change them often enough.
