Hi Moochie,
As GMO mentioned earlier, latex can cause hypersensitivity on hands of susceptible individuals - i.e. wearing Latex gloves can make some of your employees sick. Under Health and Safety in the Workplace legislation, you may be likely to leave yourself open for liability and compensation claims from injured employees, if you do not (at least) offer a latex-free alternative.
Also, the latex protein can cause reactions in people that are allergic to some foods (cross allergies, e.g. strawberries). So residues from the latex in the gloves, which invariably end up in food (via the carrier corn starch powder), may cause an allergic reaction in people that are allergic to strawberries even though the food they ate does not contain any strawberries at all (but enough latex to trigger the reaction). This will again leave your business open for liability and compensation claims.
In my opinion, this opens a can of worms that is best avoided by not using Latex gloves, regardless if the manufacturer claim 'food safe'. The problem here is not one of potentially migrating chemicals (latex is a natural rubber), but has to do with food allergies and employee health and safety.
Non-latex gloves may contain other chemicals that can migrate to foods (just as packaging materials as well) and therefore you need to substantiate a claim of 'food safe', if necessary. The 'food safe' icon (a stylised knife and fork) might help here. Manufacturers can also provide information on possible food contaminants in their materials.
Considering all possible hazards from any type of gloves it is probably best to review the use of gloves altogether as GMO suggested in his post.
Regards,
Matt
