Product Description
This Hygiplas set provides seven large low density polyethylene chopping boards, each in a distinct colour corresponding to a different food category. The colour coding system is a well-established approach to food safety in commercial kitchens, helping prep teams keep raw meats, fish, cooked foods, allergens, salad and fruit, baked goods, and vegetables clearly separated throughout service and prep.
Low density polyethylene is a practical material choice for boards at this size. It is light enough to handle comfortably, resists knife scarring reasonably well under normal use, and can be cleaned quickly between tasks. The boards are suitable for dishwasher use and hold up well under daily kitchen demands, though like all LDPE boards they will show wear over time and should be replaced when surfaces become heavily scored.
In a working kitchen, having a complete, matched set on hand brings a number of day-to-day advantages:
- Clear visual separation reduces reliance on verbal instructions during busy service
- Allergen-designated board supports documented allergen management procedures
- Lightweight construction makes the boards practical for frequent movement around the kitchen
- Consistent sizing across the set keeps storage and racking straightforward
- Replaces mismatched boards with a single, compliant set
No installation is required. The boards need flat, stable worksurface space and, ideally, a dedicated colour-coded board rack to keep them organised and off work surfaces when not in use. At this size they suit most prep areas but may not be practical on very compact benching.
This set is well suited to small to medium kitchens, catering teams in education or care settings, and any operation looking to formalise its colour-coding system. Larger or higher-volume sites processing significant quantities across multiple prep stations may find they need duplicate sets or a heavier-duty board specification.
If you are unsure whether this set covers your allergen workflow requirements or want guidance on fitting colour-coded boards into your existing prep setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The set includes a dedicated allergen board as part of the seven-colour system, which supports visual separation during prep. However, a board alone does not constitute a full allergen management procedure — you will still need documented protocols, staff training, and appropriate cleaning steps between uses. The boards work best as part of a wider allergen control approach rather than a standalone solution.
- Under regular daily use, LDPE boards will eventually show knife scoring and surface wear. Once the surface becomes heavily marked, bacteria can become harder to remove effectively and the boards should be replaced. The lifespan will depend on how intensively they are used and how consistently they are cleaned — light prep use will extend their life, while heavy chopping across multiple sittings will shorten it.
- For a single prep section handling moderate volume, one set is generally workable. Higher-volume kitchens, or those running multiple prep stations simultaneously, often find that duplicate sets reduce bottlenecks and make it easier to keep boards in use while others are being cleaned. If you are unsure what suits your setup, it is worth considering your peak prep load before ordering.
