Product Description
This Hygiplas chopping board set provides everything needed to operate a structured colour-coded food preparation system in a commercial kitchen. The set includes six high-density polyethylene boards — one in each of the standard colour-coded colours — along with a storage rack and a colour reference chart. Each board is manufactured from high-density polyethylene, which offers a firm, stable cutting surface that resists warping and is straightforward to clean and sanitise.
Colour-coded preparation is a well-established method of reducing cross-contamination risk between different food types. Having the full set of six boards means a kitchen can immediately implement a complete system rather than building one board at a time, and the included rack keeps boards stored upright and separate, which aids air drying and helps maintain hygiene between services.
Key practical points worth noting:
- Full six-colour system covers all standard food type categories
- High-density polyethylene surface is dishwasher safe and resists deep knife scoring over time
- Upright rack storage promotes drainage and reduces surface contact between boards
- Colour reference chart supports staff training and HACCP documentation
- Consistent board sizing means they stack and store predictably on the rack
The boards are a practical fit for most commercial kitchens — from smaller independent operations setting up food safety systems for the first time, through to larger kitchens standardising preparation across multiple sections. Kitchens running very high-volume prep across several teams may want to consider whether multiple sets are warranted to keep dedicated boards at each station.
If you're unsure how best to organise colour-coded prep within your specific kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Colour-coded chopping boards are a recognised method of demonstrating cross-contamination controls under HACCP principles, and inspectors commonly look for systems of this kind. Having the full six-colour set with a reference chart provides both a practical working system and supporting documentation evidence for your food safety management records.
- High-density polyethylene is generally compatible with commercial dishwasher cycles and is straightforward to sanitise. For heavily soiled boards, pre-rinsing before the wash cycle is advisable to maintain hygiene standards.
- For a single-section kitchen or a smaller operation, one set is typically sufficient. In larger kitchens where preparation runs simultaneously across multiple stations — for example, separate meat and fish prep happening at the same time — having a second set ensures dedicated boards are always available at each point without waiting for cleaning cycles.
