For two reasons:

  • The main reason is to protect the food you are handling from you and any possible infection that could have developed in your cut. People with exposed cuts and sores have caused foodborne outbreaks. The food also needs to be protected from any blood-borne diseases you could be carrying.
  • The second reason is to protect your cut from bacteria in the environment and to further reduce the possibility of infection.
