It looks like California chefs, bartenders and deli workers might be able to take off those hated rubber gloves.

Gov. Jerry Brown was presented Thursday with AB2130 -- a "do-over" bill would repeal a law requiring those handling food that goes directly to diners wear gloves and mandating that they change those gloves with every new plate or fruit garnish on a drink.

The law took effect in January, but following a backlash from the public and the foodservice industry, the state legislature voted to repeal the ban.

"We're grateful the assemblyman was willing to roll (the bill) back, hit pause and restart the process from the beginning," Angie Pappas, a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Pappas says she’s confident that Brown will sign the bill.

Did California have a norovirus problem recently? If so, please, 24-48 hours of incubation followed by an additional 24-48 hours of vomitting and diarrhea, and not much else to eat/drink but crackers and either gatorade or ginger ale in small portions is annoying. But it’s largely preventable if you notify your boss that you have such sickness, and if you actually wash your hands.

Where I worked food service during my college time, your supervisors deservedly are real sticklers about hand washing, because so many diseases that people can get can get drastically reduced in the spread just by washing your hands, not to mention the food poisoning germs as well.
