5. Delicious :) for all those moaning about gloves. Get you head out of your arses. Don't ever eat anything other than what you have planted grown and cooked yourself, Don't ever go to a restaurant, Don't ever put your hand on a public hand rail, Don't ever go to a public swimming pool. Don't ever Drink tap water, Don't ever use a public toilet, Don't ever step outside, in fact go and live in a pure oxygen tank otherwise your insides will turn into liquid mush because you will have an untrained immune system that will struggle to deal with the slightest bit of bacteria or germ.
6. Since there are still many questions regarding our workers not wearing gloves, I am re-posting the technical answer provided by our COO Aton Erwee (you can see the original post if you scroll down) for easy reference. Since this was posted we have also passed the very stringent quality and health & safety standards required of Waitrose suppliers, and we now export a very successful range to them in the UK too.
   
   Anton's reply re gloves vs no gloves:
   
   It is one the most widely-held misconceptions that the wearing of latex gloves in food handling leads to better hygiene and food safety. Up until a few years ago, the use of gloves in food manufacturing was promoted and widely adopted, but that trend has since been reversed. Research has shown that the use of gloves, while it seems counter-intuitive, actually has the opposite effect. Because it numbs the sense of feeling in ones fingers, one gets a false sense of cleanliness while there is actually a build-up of food material (and therefore bacteria) on the surface of the glove. This then may lead to workers not adhering to hand-washing protocols and quite easily lead to a person going through and entire shift with a pair of gloves that have become quite dirty. On the other hand (excuse the pun!), when handling food with ones bare hands, the sensation of stickiness, wetness etc. in fact leads to people naturally wanting to wash their hands more often and therefore acts as a very effective reminder to adhere to hand-washing disciplines. Consequently, we have discontinued the use of latex gloves. Instead, our focus is on ensuring that people work with clean hands at all times. We have very strict hygiene standards in our factory, which includes hand-cleaning procedures. Nobody can enter the factory without first washing their hands and scrub their nails. The flow of water on these wash troughs is activated by photocells so that a person does not need to touch a tap, which may lead to recontamination. Thereafter the person sanitizes his or her hands with an alcohol sanitizer. In addition there are washbasins within the factory close to every work station so that people can routinely wash hands during the course of a shift. We take random swabs of hands and work surfaces and send these to an accredited laboratory for microbial analysis to check the effectiveness of our hygiene measures. Lastly, I should point out that our factory and third party auditors regularly audit food safety systems. Not only are we a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point ) certified facility, but our retail customers, Woolworths and Pick n Pay, also have us audited against their own food safety and GMP (good manufacturing practices) standards regularly. These audits are often unannounced to prevent “window-dressing”.
7. Why no gloves, why??

10. Although wearing gloves may seem reasonable to you,  in reality, the plastic actually harbors and grows more bacteria between the glove and the hand.   Additionally,  most workers tend not to change their gloves enough times during the process or shift,  allowing for transfer of bacteria higher than the rate of transfer with bare hands.     Wearing gloves gives a false sense of cleanliness to the worker so less care is taken regarding cross-contamination.  It has been proven that the best way to eliminate any possible contamination is to eliminate the gloves and wash the hands quite frequently.
