Hi,
Due to several factors (flu season, dry winter, GMPs) our production team members have been complaining about dry and cracked hands. Based on other threads, I was able to narrow down our options and the team is leaning towards using unscented lotion underneath gloves, although are unsure of whether this is allowed.
From the NSF Non-Food Compound Listings, the registered hand creams have the statement: "This product is acceptable for use as a hand cream, lotion or cleaner (E4) in nonprocessing areas. The use of such products is limited to toilets, dressing rooms and other nonprocessing areas. Employees who handle edible products may use such compounds only when leaving the plant."
We are unsure of whether the employees handling edible products are able to use moisturizers underneath their gloves. They do not directly touch the food with their gloves.
My initial instinct would be to say no, but I wanted to make sure first.
Any advice would be great. Thank you!
