Description

No. Neither the FDA nor the USDA officially "certifies" gloves for entry into the United States. What the FDA does require, however, is for manufacturers of all examination (medical grade) gloves to have 510(k) device listings on file with the agency. This means that the manufacturer has been tested and approved to manufacture gloves for medical use (typically involves ISO certification, as well). This does not mean that the gloves themselves have been officially approved or certified for medical use. The FDA conducts random testing on containers of examination gloves as they enter the U.S.

All of our products are manufactured of USDA accepted materials, from gloves to bouffant caps. It is important to note, however, that the USDA does not officially "approve" or "certify" disposables for entry into the United States. Instead, the USDA has established guidelines that govern the materials, manufacturing, and distribution of goods used in foodservice. All of our products meet or exceed these guidelines.

As mentioned, exam or medical-grade gloves must meet a series of FDA regulations in order to be marketed as exam grade. General purpose gloves are, in fact, exam grade gloves that did not pass FDA mandated quality control tests. While no one intentionally manufactures a general purpose glove, KingSeal gloves are manufactured as medical grade gloves, yet do undergo the final steps of the FDA testing process. This gives KingSeal gloves a near-exam level of quality.
