"Food safety starts with the right tools—Hygiplas gear helps you stay compliant without cutting corners. Colour-coded chopping boards and temperature probes aren’t just nice to have—they’re your frontline defence against cross-contamination."
How Hygiplas Professional Kitchen Tools & Equipment Work
The brilliance of Hygiplas equipment lies in its comprehensive colour-coding system. Each colour corresponds to specific food types—red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for fruits and vegetables, brown for vegetables, yellow for cooked meats, and white for dairy and bakery items. This simple yet effective approach instantly identifies which tools should be used with which ingredients, significantly reducing cross-contamination risks. Hygiplas implements this system across their entire range, from ultra-durable HDPE chopping boards and razor-sharp knives to food storage containers and thermometers—creating a complete ecosystem of food safety that helps professional kitchens maintain HACCP compliance without sacrificing efficiency.
Safety Guidelines
- Proper Cleaning Sanitise between different food types—prevents bacterial transfer.
- Knife Handling Store in designated blocks or magnetic strips—reduces accidents.
- Inspect Regularly Check for deep cuts in boards—bacteria hideouts.
- Staff Training Ensure everyone understands the colour system—maintains standards.

Top Tips for Using Hygiplas Professional Kitchen Tools & Equipment
To maximise your Hygiplas investment, establish clear protocols for each colour zone in your kitchen and train all staff thoroughly. Consider mounting a colour-code chart in prep areas for quick reference. Rotate chopping boards regularly to prevent warping and extend lifespan. For knives, use proper sharpening techniques rather than steel honing rods to maintain their edge. When washing, use a commercial dishwasher with proper detergents to remove proteins and fats, or hand wash with sanitiser solutions if dishwashers aren't available.
