Whether for hygiene reasons, preventing hand damage, or avoiding food contamination, gloves are essential in various stages of the food industry. For this reason, at Mapa Professional, we have integrated several gloves into this range designed to meet the highest food safety standards.
HOW DOES FOOD LEGISLATION WORK?
In the food sector, special attention must be paid to legislation, as it not only ensures the health, safety, and protection of the user but also guarantees that food is not contaminated with harmful substances or products. Caution must be exercised concerning the different hands that handle food throughout the entire food chain.
Gloves suitable for the food industry must protect both the user and the products being handled.
European Regulations and National Laws – How does food regulation work?
There are 2 types of regulation
Food compatibility is governed by European Regulation (EC) NO 1935/2004 concerning materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
European regulations and national legislations are based on three common principles:
Each step is necessary to proceed to the next; these are the conditions to obtain the necessary certification. Mapa Professional ensures compliance with legislation according to European regulations and conducts necessary tests to ensure that the glove meets the needs and expectations of the customer.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT GLOVE?
Choose the appropriate glove based on the foods you handle.
A glove suitable for food use must bear the pictogram identifying it. However, being suitable for food use does not imply suitability for handling all types of food. Thanks to our specific selection guide for the food sector, you can easily find the most suitable glove in strict accordance with European regulations in three simple steps:
STEP 1: Look for the foods you handle in the list organized by groups.
STEP 2: Identify which gloves from our FOOD EXPERT range are suitable for handling that type of food.
STEP 3: Choose the necessary level of protection (disposable, thermal, cut-resistant, or liquid-proof) and the required performance in its use.
