True Earth Packaging supplies nitrile, vinyl, and poly disposable gloves alongside regular, heavy-duty, and compostable garbage bags — the everyday consumables every food operation needs to keep running. Wholesale pricing, case quantities, Lower Mainland delivery.
Nitrile is the gold standard for food service. Latex-free (safer for allergy-sensitive environments), puncture-resistant, and fits tightly enough for fine kitchen work — filleting fish, portioning dough, plating. Available in S/M/L/XL to minimize staff discomfort during long prep sessions.
Lower cost than nitrile, suitable for lower-risk tasks — cashier use, light food handling, and general front-of-house tasks where tactile sensitivity is less critical. Not recommended for tasks with prolonged exposure to oils or strong cleaning chemicals.
Ultra-thin, one-size polyethylene gloves for quick, disposable-heavy tasks: stocking shelves, handling pre-packaged foods, and deli counter service where you're changing gloves after every customer. High count (500/box) keeps cost low for frequent changeovers.
All gloves we supply meet Canadian food-safety standards (CFIA food contact use). No need to verify food-contact safety yourself — all glove SKUs in our catalog are approved for direct food handling.
Latex-free, food-safe, puncture-resistant. The reliable choice for kitchen food prep. Order in the sizes your team actually uses — mixed-size orders welcome.
Standard thickness for regular waste. High case count — 250 bags per case — reduces how often you need to reorder for high-use stations.
Thicker construction for kitchen waste, broken glass, bones, and heavy organic material. Reduces bag-failure incidents that require double-bagging — cheaper per liner in high-waste environments.
For food waste bins that go to commercial composting. Certified compostable — accepted by Metro Vancouver's organics collection program. Used alongside your compostable food packaging for a complete green waste stream.
Nitrile's puncture resistance and close fit make it the right choice for prep work. Tight fit means you can hold a knife or peel produce without the glove slipping. Latex-free means you don't need to track latex sensitivities in your team or customer base.
For tasks where you're changing gloves frequently — after each customer, between food types — the cost per glove matters more than durability. Vinyl is more durable than poly, but poly at 500/box is the right choice when you're swapping gloves every 2 minutes at a deli counter.
For sanitizing surfaces and handling cleaning chemicals, nitrile outperforms vinyl and poly in chemical resistance. Use a heavier nitrile where contact time is longer — the same food-safe nitrile gloves used in prep work are appropriate for light cleaning chemicals.
We don't carry latex gloves. Latex allergies are common enough in both food workers and customers that the cross-contamination risk isn't worth the marginal cost savings. Nitrile gives you the same performance without the allergy concern — which is why it's now the commercial food service standard.
