From what I saw in that video, the conditions seemed fine. I work in a grocery store and always receive these boxes of bananas, and the plastic coating always seems to be covered in some kind of banana sludge. I'm guessing when the bananas are washed they're possibly not completely residue free, or the banana packers have so many bananas going through their hands their gloves get grimy.. Either way, they were working bloody hard!
