Hygiplas Large Colour-Coded Chopping Board Set of 7 (LDPE)

This Hygiplas set provides a complete colour-coded chopping board system in a single purchase. It contains seven large boards made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), each assigned a distinct colour corresponding to a specific food group — covering raw meat, raw fish, cooked meat, allergens, salad and fruit, baked goods, and vegetables. The intention is straightforward: keep food types physically separated throughout prep to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

LDPE is a practical choice for this type of board. It is lighter than higher-density alternatives, making the boards easy to move around a busy prep area, and the surface is simple to clean down between uses. The material is also less likely to blunt knife edges than harder plastic boards, which matters in kitchens where staff are working with knives throughout a long service.

From an operational standpoint, having a complete set means the colour-coding system works as intended from day one — there are no gaps in coverage and no need to source individual boards separately. Key practical advantages include:

• Full seven-colour coverage across all major food categories including allergens
• Lightweight LDPE construction reduces handling fatigue during extended prep
• Smooth surface wipes down quickly and withstands standard commercial dishwashing
• Colour coding supports HACCP compliance and staff training
• Consistent board size across all seven colours simplifies storage and racking

These boards are well suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, and catering operations establishing a colour-coding system for the first time. For high-volume prep environments where boards are in constant use and subject to heavy knife work, a thicker or higher-density board may offer a longer service life.

If you are unsure which board specification suits your prep volume or whether this set covers your allergen control requirements, the team is happy to talk it through.
