Hi FoodAG,

Thanks for yr query and Welcome to the Forum !

Not sure I fully understand yr query.

The motivation for wearing a “uniform” in a food/packaging manufacturing facility is typically hygiene, particularly in respect to risk prevention/control of  hazards such as contamination.

The style of uniform is usually determined (intuitively or otherwise) by risk assessment/hazard analysis for the specific “product” within the context/constraints of factors such as  the food, packaging, process, environment, employees, local Regulatory standards,  customs, etc.

I presume you work in a dry environment of non-extreme temperatures/humidities with handling of exposed RTE products.?

Do you have some particular objection/reason against the use of lab coats ? Not effective against preventing contamination perhaps ?
