Product Description
This Hygiplas set provides a complete colour-coded chopping board system covering seven food categories: raw meat, raw fish, cooked meat, allergens, salad and fruit, baked goods, and vegetables. Each board is made from low density polyethylene (LDPE), a lightweight plastic well established in commercial kitchens for its ease of handling and straightforward cleaning.
In a busy kitchen, the value of a clearly differentiated board system lies in reducing the risk of cross-contamination and supporting allergen management procedures. When every food type has a dedicated, instantly identifiable board, the system becomes part of the team's routine rather than something that needs to be thought about during service.
- Seven boards covering all standard food categories in one set
- Colour coding supports allergen management and HACCP compliance
- LDPE material is lightweight and easy to handle during prep
- Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
- Suitable for use across all stations in a professional kitchen
These boards are a practical fit for smaller to medium-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, care home catering, and independent restaurants. The 20mm profile gives a reasonable working surface without being unwieldy. Kitchens with very high prep volumes or multiple prep stations working simultaneously may want to consider heavier-duty or thicker board options to account for the additional wear.
If you're putting together a full prep setup or reviewing your allergen controls, we're happy to help you think through what's appropriate for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the dedicated allergen board is a practical aid for separating allergen-containing ingredients during prep. That said, boards alone do not constitute a complete allergen management system; they should sit within a broader set of kitchen procedures and staff training to be effective.
- Low density polyethylene is a widely used material in commercial kitchens and performs well under regular prep work. It will show knife marks over time with heavy use, which is normal. Boards should be inspected periodically and replaced when surface scoring becomes deep enough to harbour bacteria that cleaning cannot reliably remove.
- For a single prep area or a smaller kitchen, one set of seven boards is typically sufficient. If you're running separate stations simultaneously — for example, a dedicated fish station alongside a veg prep area — having duplicate sets per station is worth considering to keep the colour-coding system intact across the kitchen.
