Blue / Clear High Density Polyethylene Gloves Ambidextrous Food Safe Disposable Gloves

High-Density Polyethylene is a type of plastic, not rubber. Because it contains absolutely no natural rubber latex proteins, it is inherently 100% latex-free and completely safe for individuals with Type I latex allergies.

When shopping for these gloves for food preparation, ensure the packaging or product description explicitly states the following:

• FDA Food Grade Compliant: Look for labels that mention FDA Title 21 CFR 177.1520 or explicitly state "Food Safe" or "For Food Contact." This ensures the plastic won't transfer harmful chemicals into the food.

• Powder-Free: Most modern poly gloves are powder-free, which prevents cornstarch or other powders from contaminating food or irritating your skin.

• BPA-Free and DEHP-Free: Ensures the gloves are free of potentially harmful plasticizers and chemical additives.

You will generally find these sold under a few common names:

• Change Them Frequently: Poly gloves are designed for short-term, single-use tasks. Change them immediately if you switch from handling raw meat to ready-to-eat foods.

• Watch the Heat: HDPE has a melting point around 120°C to 130°C, but it can soften or deform at lower temperatures. Do not use them to handle hot pans or reach into ovens.
