Handwashing and Gloving Theory

I can see that this forum is very empty. I would like to share some files about handwashing and gloving. Hope they will be useful.

Dear Inesa,

Thks for the documents. Very thought-provoking.
Quick summary = Some agreements on basic aspects but No Consensus on "to glove or not to glove", surprise, surprise!. Multiple criteria involved of course.
(Fear of inability to monitor / control bare hand practices dominating any contrary opinions / data ??)
(eg http://barfblog.food...licting-results )(2010)

The parallel thread (Glove Policy) due caddyshack is also related.

Here is another recent (2010) interesting study

For an example of a, perhaps, iconic viewpoint but which offers theory / validatory data / implementation, maybe try this one (Snyder 2008) which is primarily aimed at establishing a system for retail food –

Thank you for the documents! =)

Dear Charles.C,

Thanks for the useful documents.

For your info, in my food processing area(manufacturer of frozen food products), currently we are using the disposable handglove when handling bun(type of bread but at the end we steam).However, i found that they seem like they are not comfortable because the molded buns will stick to the glove and it will slow production.

Please advise me what should i do, is there any suitable gloves to use?

Dear lavida,

I am guessing the sticking problem may be temperature related.?

If so, 2-layer or silicone might be options but there may be cost problems. See this thread for example -

http://www.ifsqn.com...dpost__p__40307

If temperature not a problem, maybe a simple change of material may help, eg latex / vinyl / various others. The properties of various types are detailed / compared in attachment pt2 of this post although i don't see a particular evaluation for "stickiness" -

Maybe there are some steamed bun-makers here ?
