specified in Section 114004, such as frozen food or a primal cut of
meat.
(e) Slash-resistant gloves may be used with ready-to-eat food that

slash-resistant gloves are covered with a smooth, durable,
nonabsorbent glove, or a single-use glove.
(f) Cloth gloves may not be used in direct contact with food
unless the food is subsequently cooked.
