Did you know you can find fecal coliform on over 50% of gloves? It’s astounding to learn that many of the gloves coming into our country are contaminated. But Eagle Protect is changing that.
They test every single lot of their Eagle Delta Zero™ gloves for microbial contamination.

Doug is on a mission to encourage US states to adopt more recent versions of the FDA Food Code (only 4 states have adopted the most recent version so far) but this gets really tricky because of federalism.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“It's very interesting because it's very complicated and the way we do it in this country, as I said, is a federalist system. The locals, the states, the federal government, they all have to work together, but really the authority, you can do whatever you want to inside your state, inside your jurisdiction, as long as you don't conflict with what the FDA is doing.” – Doug Farquhar
