Product Description
This is the large format yellow board from Hygiplas' extra thick colour-coded range, made from high density polyethylene. At 25mm thick and measuring 600 x 450mm, it is a substantial working surface intended for professional kitchen use rather than light-duty preparation.
High density polyethylene is the standard material for commercial chopping boards for good reason. It is non-absorbent, meaning liquids and food juices do not penetrate the surface, and it resists odour retention even after repeated heavy use. The extra thickness gives the board a solid, stable feel under the knife and adds longevity — thicker boards can withstand more resurfacing before they need replacing, which matters in kitchens that take HACCP compliance seriously.
The yellow colour coding follows the widely adopted system used across UK commercial kitchens to separate raw poultry from other food groups, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during busy service periods. Key practical points:
- Non-absorbent surface resists bacteria harbouring in cuts and scores
- Extra thickness provides stability during heavy prep work
- Colour-coded yellow for raw poultry separation under HACCP guidelines
- Dishwasher safe for consistent hygiene between uses
- High density polyethylene is odourless and non-toxic
At 6.6kg, the board has meaningful heft, which keeps it from shifting during use but is worth bearing in mind when considering storage and handling in a busy kitchen. It is best suited to central preparation areas with dedicated board storage rather than front-of-house or mobile prep stations.
This size suits most professional kitchens handling moderate to high volumes of poultry preparation. Where prep volumes are lower, a smaller board in the same range may be more practical. If you are building out a full colour-coded set or are unsure which sizes best match your prep workflow, we are happy to help you put together the right combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Yellow is the widely recognised colour designation for raw poultry within the standard HACCP board colour-coding system used across UK commercial kitchens. Using a dedicated yellow board as part of a full colour-coded set helps demonstrate due diligence in cross-contamination controls during food safety inspections.
- The additional thickness provides a more stable cutting surface that is less prone to flexing under heavy knife work, and it means the board can be resurfaced — either by scraping or light planing — more times before it reaches the end of its usable life. For kitchens with high prep volumes, this translates to a longer service interval before replacement is needed.
- The large board suits kitchens with a meaningful volume of poultry preparation and dedicated prep bench space. If your poultry prep is lighter or bench space is limited, a smaller board in the same range may be more practical. If you are building out a full set across multiple food groups, it is worth thinking through your prep workflow first — feel free to get in touch and we can help identify the right combination.
