Hello all,
I have a question about glove colors. I have recently started a new role as the Food Safety and Quality Manager for a Coffee Roasting Company in the US. We are SQF certified. We are a very low risk facility, and have no glove color code policy, and use clear gloves for both food handling and sanitation, which has been fine in previous audits. I was asked today if we could also use other colored gloves in our process, for the same purposes, basically mixed blue and clear gloves on the floor, depending on what is available/affordable to purchase at any given time. I can't find anything that specifically mentions this one way or another, but I don't feel like it is best industry practice and I would expect an auditor to ask about the different colored gloves. Does anyone have advice on this, either way? Is mixing glove colors likely to cause us trouble in an audit?
