Hygiplas colour coded scissors are stainless steel kitchen scissors available in six colours, each assigned to a specific food group to support cross-contamination control during food preparation. The colour coding follows the widely recognised system used across commercial catering and aligns with standard HACCP-based food safety practices.

In a busy kitchen where multiple food types are being prepared simultaneously, having dedicated scissors for each category removes the risk of picking up the wrong tool. This is particularly relevant where allergen management is a priority — the purple pair is specifically designated for allergen-containing ingredients, providing a clear visual reference for all kitchen staff.

The six-colour system covers the main preparation categories:

  • Blue — raw fish
  • Green — salad and fruit
  • Purple — allergens
  • Red — raw meat
  • White — dairy
  • Yellow — cooked meat

Made from stainless steel, the scissors are straightforward to clean and suitable for the demands of a commercial prep environment. Their light weight makes them practical for extended use during prep shifts without fatigue.

These scissors are well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a colour coded food safety system, from small independent kitchens to larger operations running structured HACCP programmes. They work particularly well as part of a wider colour coded equipment setup — chopping boards, tongs, and prep tools — where consistent colour discipline is maintained across the team.

If you are setting up or reviewing your kitchen's food safety controls and want to talk through how colour coded equipment fits into your workflow, we are happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Do these scissors follow the standard UK colour coded catering system?

Yes, the colour assignments — including red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salad and fruit, white for dairy, yellow for cooked meat, and purple for allergens — follow the colour coded system widely adopted in UK commercial catering and consistent with HACCP-based food safety frameworks.

How many pairs do I need to buy to cover all six colours?

Each listing covers a single colour, so you would need to purchase one pair per colour to have the full six-colour set. If you are equipping multiple prep stations, it is worth considering how many of each colour you need based on your kitchen layout and the number of staff working simultaneously.

Are these scissors suitable for heavy-duty cutting tasks in a busy kitchen?

They are well suited to general food preparation tasks such as portioning herbs, trimming poultry, or cutting packaging during service prep. For very high-volume operations or sustained heavy-duty cutting, it may be worth considering a more robust scissor option alongside these as part of your overall toolkit.
