Hygiene Workwear for Food Processing and Catering

Covering hair is one of the most basic food hygiene requirements, so we stock hair nets in lightweight and heavyweight options, alongside mob caps and forage hats for kitchens that prefer a different style of headwear. Beard masks and 3-ply or KN95/FFP2 face masks round out the head and face coverage most food premises need to stay compliant.

For body protection, our range includes plastic and PE disposable aprons, sold on a roll or in bulk packs, plus non-woven visitor coats for anyone entering a food production area who isn't in daily kitchen uniform, and poly oversleeves for extra arm protection during food handling. Together, this gives food processing sites, catering kitchens and hospitality venues one place to stock the workwear their hygiene policy requires. See our disposable gloves to complete the set.

FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. What PPE is required in a food processing kitchen?

Requirements vary by site and role, but commonly include hair covering, a clean apron or coat, and sometimes face coverings for certain food handling tasks. Your food safety policy or EHO guidance should set the specific requirements for your premises.

2. Do food handlers need to wear hair nets?

Hair covering is a standard food hygiene requirement in most kitchens and food processing environments, since loose hair is a contamination risk. A hair net, mob cap or forage that can all serve this purpose depending on house policy.

3. What's the difference between a hair net and a mob cap?

A hair net is a fine mesh that contains hair closely to the head, while a mob cap is a looser fabric-style cap that covers more of the head. Both are used for the same hygiene purpose, but some kitchens prefer one style over the other.

4. Where can I buy disposable aprons in bulk in the UK?

Packaging By Polymer supplies disposable plastic and PE aprons in bulk packs and on a roll, at wholesale prices with next-day delivery, suited to catering kitchens and food processing businesses.

5. What is a visitor coat used for in food premises?

A visitor coat is worn by anyone entering a food production or processing area who isn't in regular kitchen uniform, helping maintain hygiene standards for contractors, inspectors or occasional visitors to the site.
