If an employee wipes off mayo from their glove with a paper towel, do they need to change gloves?

In this scenario, the most appropriate approach is to consider the principles of food safety and cross-contamination prevention. When an employee wipes off mayo from their glove with a paper towel, they are not necessarily changing tasks or handling different types of food. The action of cleaning the glove does not compromise the integrity of the glove itself or create a risk of cross-contamination as long as the glove remains intact and the same food handling task continues.

Changing gloves is primarily required when switching between tasks that involve different types of food or after handling items that may lead to contamination. In this case, since the employee is simply wiping off condiment residue and continuing with the same type of food handling, a glove change is not mandated, and they can safely continue working. Thus, the employee does not need to change gloves after this action, as long as proper hand hygiene is maintained following any potential contamination.
