Product Description
This is a large-format, extra-thick chopping board made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), supplied in white as part of Hygiplas's colour-coded board system. At 25mm thick, it is noticeably more substantial than standard catering boards, which makes a practical difference in day-to-day use — particularly in busy prep environments where boards take consistent heavy knife work.
White boards are conventionally used for bread and bakery in colour-coded food safety systems, though some operations also designate white for dairy or cooked foods. The important thing is consistency across your kitchen; colour coding only functions as an allergen and cross-contamination control measure if it is applied and enforced throughout the team.
The HDPE construction means the board is non-porous, which limits the absorption of juices, odours, and bacteria that can accumulate in softer or thinner boards over time. At 6.66kg, it has enough mass to stay stable on a worktop during use without needing additional securing, and the extra thickness gives it longer working life before it needs to be assessed for replacement under HACCP maintenance routines.
- Non-porous surface resists absorption of bacteria, odours, and moisture
- Extra 25mm thickness extends working life under heavy daily use
- Part of a colour-coded system supporting allergen management
- Suitable for dishwasher cleaning and routine sanitisation
- Stable working weight reduces movement during prep
This board is well suited to mid-sized and larger prep kitchens where worktop space and a structured colour-coding system are already in place. If you are setting up a new colour-coded board system or are unsure which sizes and colours best fit your operation, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- In the most widely used commercial kitchen colour-coding systems, white is designated for bread, bakery, and dairy products. The exact allocation can vary by operation, but the key principle is that each colour is assigned consistently and all staff follow the same system. If you are building or reviewing your colour-coded setup, it is worth confirming your designations align with your HACCP documentation.
- There is no fixed replacement interval — boards should be assessed regularly for deep scoring, warping, or surface degradation that cannot be adequately cleaned. The extra thickness of this board means it has more usable material before reaching that point compared with standard-thickness alternatives, which can reduce replacement frequency in heavy-use environments. Your HACCP maintenance records should document the condition of boards as part of routine checks.
- At 600 x 450mm, this is a large board and it will take up a meaningful portion of a standard worktop. It is well suited to dedicated prep stations where worktop space is not at a premium. For kitchens with limited bench space, or where portability between workstations is needed, a smaller board from the same range may be a more practical fit — we can help you identify the right size if you are unsure.
