Is Vinyl gloves an option for processing fruits and vegetables?

   When processing fruits and vegetables, workers often face chemical agents, sharp objects, pollutants and other potential hazards, poor treatment may lead to their own hands injury, or lead to food contamination, so they need to wear protective gloves. Is Vinyl gloves an option? Vinyl gloves are one of the most used protective gloves, but are they good for handling vegetables and fruits? Here's the GUSIIE protector for you to know.

    First of all, when processing fruits and vegetables, the selection of gloves should consider the protective effect of these four sides:

    1. Prevent hands from being cut or cut by tools;

    2. Block chemical reagents in cleaning agents;

    3. Keep your hands clean and fresh;

    4. Ensure food hygiene.

    Vinyl gloves perform basic operations that require frequent glove changes, such as cleaning, sorting, serving dishes, and most of the packaging. However, it is not suitable for the following situations:

    1. Cut fruits and vegetables. Vinyl gloves aren't nearly as puncture-resistant as nitrile gloves and aren't as good at protecting against sharp knives.

    2. Treat fruits and vegetables with thorns or hard shells. Foods such as durian, pineapples, and coconuts have hard shells, and Vinyl gloves are easily punctured, leaving your hands unprotected.

    So Vinyl gloves can be used for the basic handling stages of processing, but for those two stages, GUSIIE Protection recommends that you choose nitrile gloves, which protect your hands better.
