Product Description
This Hygiplas set provides seven large low density polyethylene chopping boards, each in a distinct colour corresponding to a different food category. The colour-coding system is a well-established approach to food safety in commercial kitchens, helping prep teams maintain clear separation between raw meats, raw fish, cooked foods, allergens, salad and fruit, bakery items, and vegetables throughout prep and service.
Low density polyethylene is a practical material choice at this size. It is light enough to handle and move comfortably around a busy prep area, offers reasonable resistance to knife scarring under normal daily use, and cleans quickly between tasks. The boards are suitable for dishwasher use, though like all LDPE boards they will show wear over time and should be replaced when surfaces become heavily scored — a routine part of managing any chopping board stock.
Having a complete, matched set on hand brings several day-to-day advantages in a working kitchen:
- Clear visual separation reduces reliance on verbal instructions during busy service
- Dedicated allergen board supports documented allergen management procedures
- Lightweight construction suits frequent movement between prep stations
- Consistent sizing across all seven boards keeps storage and racking straightforward
- Replaces mismatched boards with a single, compliant set in one purchase
No installation is required. The boards need flat, stable worksurface space and, ideally, a dedicated colour-coded rack to keep them organised and off the bench when not in use. At 450 x 600mm, they suit most commercial prep areas, though very compact benching may find the footprint a challenge.
This set is well suited to small to medium kitchens, catering teams in education, care, or hospitality settings, and any operation looking to formalise its colour-coding approach. Higher-volume sites running multiple prep stations simultaneously may need duplicate sets, and operations with particularly heavy-duty cutting demands may benefit from a thicker or harder-wearing board specification.
If you want to talk through how this set fits your allergen workflow or whether your prep setup calls for something different, the team is glad to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The set includes a dedicated allergen-designated board, which supports visual separation as part of a broader allergen management system. However, a colour-coded board alone does not replace a documented allergen policy — it works alongside staff training, cleaning protocols, and written procedures. If you are putting a formal allergen workflow in place, it is worth reviewing the full process rather than relying on the board in isolation.
- There is no fixed lifespan — it depends on cutting frequency, blade type, and cleaning method. Under daily use in a busy kitchen, boards will show scoring over time, and heavily scarred surfaces should be replaced as they become harder to clean effectively and can harbour bacteria. Routine inspection of board condition is good practice, and keeping a spare set allows rotation when boards reach the end of their usable life.
- For kitchens running multiple prep stations simultaneously, one set may not be sufficient — particularly where the same food categories are being prepared across different areas at the same time. Higher-volume operations often run duplicate sets to keep workflows moving without boards being tied up in the dishwasher during service. If you are unsure how many sets your operation needs, the team can help you think it through.
