Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Patisserie in Oakham was struggling with inconsistent food prep practices across its team, leading to concerns over allergen control. They decided to overhaul their system with a full set of Hygiplas colour-coded boards, including this white one for all their baked goods and cream fillings.
"These boards made an immediate difference. There’s no more confusion in the kitchen; everyone knows exactly what surface to use. It’s streamlined our workflow and given me total confidence in our hygiene standards. Simple, but so effective."
Robert Davies – Owner
The change resulted in a 100% pass rate on their next food hygiene inspection and a noticeable improvement in prep speed during the morning rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the board a thorough wash with hot, soapy water and sanitise it.
- Designate a specific spot for your white board to avoid mix-ups with other colours.
- Place a damp cloth underneath to prevent it from slipping on stainless steel surfaces.
- Brief your team: white is strictly for bakery and dairy to maintain your hygiene system.
Keeping It Going
- Clean and sanitise the board immediately after use, especially after contact with dairy.
- It's dishwasher safe, so run it through a cycle for a guaranteed hygienic clean.
- Avoid using excessively serrated knives which can damage the surface more quickly.
- Replace the board when it becomes heavily scored or scarred, as deep cuts can harbour bacteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the white colour specifically for?
A: In the universal colour-coding system, white is designated for bakery and dairy products, like bread, pastries, and cheese.
Q: Can this commercial white chopping board go in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed to be dishwasher safe for easy and effective sanitisation.
Q: What is Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)?
A: It's a type of food-safe plastic that is lightweight, non-absorbent, and resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for hygienic food prep.
Q: How can I stop the board from slipping on my worktop?
A: A common professional trick is to place a damp, clean cloth or a piece of non-slip matting underneath the board to keep it securely in place.
Q: Will this board damage my knives?
A: No, LDPE is a soft material that is kind to knife edges, helping to keep them sharper for longer compared to harder surfaces like glass or marble.
Q: Is the board flexible?
A: No, at 12mm thick, this is a rigid and sturdy board designed for stability during chopping and cutting.
Q: Is this board resistant to stains?
A: Its non-porous surface is highly resistant to staining. For tough stains like beetroot or turmeric, a bleach solution can be used as per food safety guidelines.
Q: How often should I replace my chopping boards?

Explore more from HygiplasWhy Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a Hygiene Hero
Ever wondered what makes a 'plastic' chopping board better than another? It often comes down to the material, and this one uses Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). Think of it like this: a wooden board is like a sponge, it can soak up liquids, stains, and bacteria into its pores. LDPE, however, is like a sheet of glass. It has a non-porous, solid surface, so there's nowhere for germs or juices to hide. When you wash it, everything slides right off, ensuring a truly sanitary surface every single time. This is why materials like LDPE are critical for meeting HACCP food safety standards – they remove the risk of hidden contamination that other materials can pose.
Who Should Buy This?
- Local Bakeries: Perfect for preparing dough, scoring loaves, and finishing pastries on a designated, hygienic surface.
- Deli Counters & Fromageries: Essential for slicing and portioning cheeses without transferring strong flavours or odours.
- School & Hospital Canteens: A must-have for safe sandwich prep and handling dairy items in high-volume environments.
- Independent Cafés: An affordable and effective restaurant food prep board for cakes, scones, and cheese toasties.
