Why must FDA regulations be complied with? These are the keys

Safety gloves must comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations. This U.S. agency regulates food, drugs and cosmetics, among others, so that they are not harmful to humans. By respecting and applying its measures and standards, a higher quality of safety equipment is achieved.

An improvement for the food industry

Personal protective equipment used in the production of food to be marketed in the United States cannot bypass FDA regulations. Whether they are reusable nitrile gloves or any other equipment, they must meet your requirements. This affects the materials that can be used, the resistors or that are designed so as not to cause cross-contamination.

These requirements lead manufacturers to design top quality protective equipment. These should not cause damage to the product in the different stages of its processing. In addition, it is necessary to use suitable materials, such as nitrile or latex, with the resistance required by regulations. It is an effective way to prevent fraud and ensure security at all times.

When a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) complies with regulations, in addition to increasing its quality, it certifies its safety. The reason is that it has withstood the tests that prove its protection against cutting, rubbing or high temperatures. Therefore, not only the product is cared for, but the operator will work in the best possible conditions. Your safety, comfort and productivity are increased as a result of these and other factors.
