DISPOSABLE MEDICAL EXAM GLOVES: Some brands contain oatmeal, and state so on the label. This includes even some that state “Powder Free”; e.g., Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves with Colloidal Oatmeal. These should be sold and put away with the chometz. POWDERED DISPOSABLE GLOVES (e.g., latex and vinyl types) are usually powdered with corn starch, and should not be used in the kitchen or near food on Pesach. The OU PESACH GUIDE’S “YELLOW’ SECTION list, of products that do not require special Pesach marking, refers only to products bearing an OU symbol. Products not bearing an OU, even with the same brand names, are often produced by different manufacturers and may not be approved for Pesach. This is frequently the case with store brands / private label products.
