Gloves are NOT required for every duty in the kitchen - the new specs are very different and open to interpretation by the health inspectors as they always have been. Gloves ONLY need to be worn when touching raw, uncooked food which will come into contact with someone's mouth. Gloves MUST also be changed when changing tasks; they are NOT worn constantly. I really hope the health department will take the effort to do some real education for the public so that misrepresentations and misunderstandings can be cleared up. There's not really a great deal of cost involved - the health codes are simply returning to a method of ensuring sanitation that was in force many years ago.
