Beginning Jan. 1, 2020, the use of latex gloves in your facility’s kitchen
will be prohibited.
Governor Newsom
signed Senate Bill 677 into law, which bans
the use of latex gloves in food facilities and retail food establishments
and requires food employees to use non-latex utensils, including non-latex
gloves.
Please let your dietary managers know that all food service
employees should wear non-latex gloves beginning Jan 1. They should also check
to make sure any utensils that are made with latex are removed from service.
