It’s great how the workers use their bare hands to feel the connection of everyone before and after them who has touched the sandwich

[@jameswalker199]

There's two schools of thought on this. One is that gloves keep dead skin and oils off of the food, the other is that gloves prevent you from feeling when your hands are dirty and therefore mean you wash your hands and/or change your gloves much less often.

[@donnienapi1165]

I bet it feels like a spirit-- like an orb that shoots through your body everytime you grab a sandwich.

[@LimerickWarrior1]

I hate to tell you gloves are one of the dirtiest things you can use when handling food. Hands washed correctly and sanitised are far far far safer for food handling. You will not find a single chef behind closed doors using gloves, except for simpletons and cuts. People in delis etc. do it for show.

[@jones81381]

I like how the workers are wearing hair nets and aprons and all sorts of food safety gear to prevent contaminants from getting into the sandwiches but then they handle them all with their bare hands. We all know the hands never get dirty and don't need protection gear to avoid contaminants getting into the food. EDIT: Oh it gets even better. The guys loading the sandwiches into the boxes are wearing gloves to make sure the boxes don't get contaminated. How thoughtful.

[@Kat-lt6qd]

Why are you so convinced that gloves are magical bacteria repeller? These people deep wash their hands directly prior to beginning work, so I'm assuming your concern would be anything they touch once already working? That also applies when wearing gloves, no? Whatever you are convinced will be on their hands is now on the gloves instead. There have been studies in the UK that wearing gloves can actually increase hygiene issues. This is due to people feeling a false sense of protection. When they have bare hands they are more aware of potential issues and deeply wash their hands regularly throughout. In addition to this, they can detect if something feels off with an ingredient, something not apparent to the naked eye, like a sticky piece of ham for examlle, which suggests unhealthy bacteria & which wouldn't be noticed while wearing gloves. Then you keep touching more with those now contaminated gloves. This is why in the UK you rarely see people who handle food wearing gloves. 9 times out of 10, when I see people freaking out about gloves, it's an American. Keep nails short, remove all jewellery (which they haven't in this clip & I do have an issue with) deep clean throughly regularly & there shouldn't be a problem.

[@jimmykray9583]

They were gloves on the machine so they don’t cut their hands on the boxes that’s literally the only reason they are allowed to wear gloves, this company is a shithole

[@LordMerji]

I worked in a place that made such sandwiches. It was a cold room where you stood in the same spot for hours. The ingredients were also kept in a large freezer, so when you handled it, your hands would get cold too. We would wear cloth gloves with food safety gloves on top. Even with cloth gloves, your hands still got cold. Even in the dead of summer, when I got off work, I would still feel the cold in my body for hours afterwards.

[@crybabylebongo]

clearly you never worked in a kitchen. even if you go to gordon ramseys kitchens they simply wash and sanitize their hands regularly. Wearing gloves actually traps sweat/dirt and builds up heat (this is bad). working with a single item, on a manufacturing line its actually better to not wear gloves (risk of contamination is low with clean, sanitized hands). latex gloves actually don't last very long and often break into pieces and get lost into food. also after handing food after about 5 minutes gloves get slippery and your fine motor skills like peeling apart 2 pieces of ham are not easy. Lastly stopping the entire production line for workers to go wash hands, dry them and put new gloves is like sitting down for a meal and then brushing your teeth between each bite you take. its much easier, faster, and hyginic to finish the task and then properly clean up.

[@eleanorryan2750]

For anyone interested in the location of the company, its in the uk. Whew. These people need a company sponsored vacation to Glove World, this is rock bottom.

[@limabean9878]

Gloves aren't a legal requirement when handling food here. Gloves can get just as dirty as skin (someone can easily touch their face/mouth/hair/whatever with a glove on) - but there's often a false assumption that if you're wearing gloves it's automatically safe. This has been shown to (in some cases) decrease handwashing/glove changing to stop contamination because people assume gloves = clean. So the focus is on proper, regular, thorough handwashing to ensure safety. Not sure where you're based, but the UK has a far, far lower incidence of food-related illnesses than the US - 14.8% of population in the US vs 1.5% of the population in UK in 2018, for example. So gloves aren't the big deal here!

I worked at a buzy 300 seat restaurant in late eighties and nineties and we didn't use gloves back then and this place had a one plus hour wait also and no one got sick. When they started using latex gloves every week someone was getting sick. Most people have no clue what goes on behind the scenes in your local restaurants. I've seen it all and that's why I prefer to eat at home.

When you want to stop eating something, watch how it is made 🙂

[@ryanb.31funky]

how about an episode of how these machines used are made?!

[@sydclark5581]

I really wasn't sure on how to make a sandwich, so thanks 👍

[@David.560_-]

Hands on

[@magicknight13]

NO GLOVES?! This is unheard of and terrifying 😂😂

[@SirTAD]

i was like "man, im surprised by how much of this is manual" then they went "and heres the fully automated one," and it all made way more sense

[@heyheytaytay]

I love how the workers are covered up so much you'd think they worked in a biohazard lab handling petri dishes of ebola except they don't wear gloves...

[@AwardFabrik-SoF]

My thoughts as well...and how the processed "meat" looks like cows made into soylent green o_O

[@donmega5202]

Because I almost guarantee they got shorted gloves during the regular supply shortages we still see today and they just rolled along with it. Certain demographics don't care and don't send hate my way for saying that. They just do their job and go home; they don't care.

[@evilsharkey8954]

@@donmega5202 they’ve got plenty of other coverings.

[@IamAlmostRealWitch]

gloves are good for protecting the person using them(to an extent), but get dirty just as quickly as skin. because the common perception is there 'safer' they can be counter productive in a food manufacturing environment. A good washing policy is usually better for hygiene, company spending and the environment.

And also nothing covering their mouths and noses especially in this time of Covid.

[@jimmycook872]

Nothing beats homemade sandwiches. Especially on long trips. Never trusted pre-made sandwiches. They are usually devoid of any flavours and Limited on selections. But Interesting how they mass produce them.

The sad grab of egg salad is really what gets me

In a few years and already in some countries, this entire process is automated this package. Only 5 worker are kept to transfer package to trucks.

[@micky482]

Couldn’t believe any business would allow food to be handled this way ❗️

[@jameswalker199]

Would you rather they wear gloves and not be able to feel when their hands are dirty? The theory goes that when you feel you have touched something like cold meat, you are hyper aware that you have touched something that makes your hands dirty, therefore you wash your hands more often. Counterintuitively, this makes wearing gloves to handle food less hygienic.

[@benjaminkolls8081]

Made with direct contact of love.

[@dean5473]

“Why aren’t they wearing gloves” Wait until you find out restaurant employees don’t wear gloves either

[@Imnotplayinganymore]

Believe me I love a fresh deli sandwich as much as the next person. But for some reason I occasionally crave a prepackaged sandwich and a bag of Dorito spicy chips, with a coke. It's just a weird craving. Same with a nuclear burrito once in a while.

[@kilgoretrout4491]

You like the flavor of their bare hands, DON’T YOU!

[@belladomenico758]

That's really interesting, I've always wondered how premade sandwiches/wraps are made!

[@sammybedsole3650]

I always wondered how they got those in there

[@engkuzhafri]

love those nails! so clean

[@tazkrebbeks3391]

They need to put a piece of plastic cardboard or something between each half of the sandwich. Because you're two pieces of bread that touch each other end up getting very soggy. I'm surprised they haven't done anything about that yet. Oh yeah which company was it that wasn't wearing any gloves yuck.

[@elgoog7830]

It's condensation in the package. Changes in temperatures and vast differences between store coolers, are contributing factors, to soggy problems. I don't think cardboard will solve that problem.
