Except as specified in subsection (c), slash-resistant gloves that are used to protect the hands during operations requiring cutting shall be used in direct contact only with food that is subsequently cooked as specified in § §  46.361—46.366 (relating to destruction of organisms of public health concern), such as frozen food or a primal cut of meat.

 (c)  Slash-resistant gloves: exception. Slash-resistant gloves may be used with ready-to-eat food that will not be subsequently cooked if the slash-resistant gloves have a smooth, durable and nonabsorbent outer surface; or if the slash-resistant gloves are covered with a smooth, durable, nonabsorbent glove or a single-use glove.

 (d)  Cloth gloves. Cloth gloves may not be used in direct contact with food unless the food is subsequently cooked as required in § §  46.361—46.366, such as frozen food or a primal cut of meat.
