Abstract

When handling food, gloves are often used, it is necessary to use gloves that comply with the Food Sanitation Act. However, it remains unclear whether the gloves used in licensed food business establishments necessarily meet the standards specified by the Act. In this study, a total of 28 commercially available rubber gloves, primarily those without labeling indicating compliance with the Food Sanitation Act on their packaging, were investigated for compliance with regulatory limits for migrants from rubber products (phenol, formaldehyde, zinc, lead, and evaporated residue).Prior to the survey, a performance evaluation confirmed that all analytical methods satisfied the target criteria and demonstrated sufficient analytical performance. In the survey, all nine rubber gloves with compliance labeling met the standards, whereas three of the 19 rubber gloves without such labeling exceeded the regulatory limits for zinc or evaporation residue.
