October 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #81: Latex Allergies and Public Soap Dispensers

Tip of the Week

Latex sensitization has become a great concern for consumers in restaurants. An increasing number of people are experiencing reactions, some severe, to natural proteins in latex that are dispensed from soap and hand-sanitizer dispensing machines in bathrooms.
One area of concern to this latex allergy are the bag-in-box soaps, which contain a latex nozzle. For restaurant managers it's important to note the latex quantity in soap boxes and bags before purchasing. Some latex nozzles offer synthetic latex (polyisoprene), it is not natural rubber latex or dry natural rubber, so it's not a high risk to consumers with a latex allergy.
