How Commercial Chopping Board Sets Work
Commercial chopping board sets operate on a simple but brilliant colour-coding system aligned with HACCP food safety protocols. Each board colour is designated for specific food types—red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, yellow for cooked meats, green for fruits/vegetables, brown for vegetables, and white for dairy or bakery items. Made from high-density polyethylene or polypropylene, they're non-porous to prevent bacteria harbourage. Many feature anti-slip feet or textured surfaces for stability during intense prep work, while some come with antibacterial additives that actively inhibit bacterial growth between cleanings—keeping your kitchen safe and inspection-ready!

Safety Guidelines

Top Tips for Using Commercial Chopping Board Sets
For maximum hygiene, implement a proper rotation system with multiple board sets, allowing used boards to be thoroughly cleaned while prep continues. Always store boards vertically in a rack or holder to allow air circulation and prevent moisture build-up. Replace boards at the first sign of deep scoring or grooves, as these can harbour bacteria. Consider pairing with colour-coded knives to further reduce cross-contamination risks, and wash boards with hot, soapy water after every use—even if they appear clean.
