Public Health Significance

The Committee recognizes the need for a Brand neutral guidance document illustrating the effective use of barriers and utensils when handling foods, including the use of disposable gloves, and the process of barrier use related to hand hygiene.

The following tools and utensils are now included in the document: gloves, scoops, spoons, ladles, spatulas, tongs, forks, deli papers, chopsticks, and toothpicks.
