SHOWA 6110PF Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves

Yes. Per SHOWA's product description and the WebstaurantStore listing data, the 6110PF is FDA food-contact compliant and approved for food handling and food preparation — it's marketed specifically for food service alongside industrial and laboratory use.

Type B means the glove passed permeation testing against at least 3 chemicals at breakthrough level 2 or higher (30 minutes minimum). The classification letter is on the product box (confirmed CE 2777, SATRA-certified). SHOWA's website was unreachable at the time of this review, so the specific chemicals tested and their individual breakthrough times are not documented here — per-chemical data would allow a higher chemical_resistance score.

SHOWA's EBT formulation makes the nitrile 82% biodegradable in 386 days under active landfill conditions per SHOWA's internal test data. Standard nitrile gloves are petrochemical-derived and persist in landfill for decades; EBT adds organic additives that accelerate microbial breakdown. The biodegradation claim is SHOWA-internal (not third-party independent), so the environment lifecycle dimension credits the specific quantified claim without assuming full independent verification.

As of our last check, the Amazon listing (B0CDK342LK) is unavailable. The 6110PF line is available through WebstaurantStore in medium (case of 1,000) and XL (100-box) formats. Industrial distributors and food-service supply companies are also typical sources for SHOWA gloves.
