Product Description
This Hygiplas large chopping board set provides everything needed to run 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 codes — along with a wall-mounted storage rack and a colour identification chart. At this size, the boards are well suited to full portion preparation, butchery tasks, and general kitchen prep work where a smaller board would be impractical.
High density polyethylene is the material of choice for commercial chopping boards because it resists knife scoring better than softer plastics, tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles, and does not absorb odours or moisture in the way that wood does. Under regular heavy use, HDPE boards hold their surface integrity well, which matters both for hygiene and for the longevity of the set.
Running a colour-coded system offers clear operational advantages in a busy kitchen:
- Reduces cross-contamination risk between raw proteins, cooked foods, and produce
- Supports allergen management protocols by separating preparation surfaces
- Helps kitchen teams work consistently without verbal instruction
- Wall rack keeps boards organised, aired, and off preparation surfaces
- Colour wall chart provides clear reference for new or agency staff
The set is appropriate for kitchens of most sizes, from small independent catering operations through to larger contract catering environments. Because the boards are large, the rack requires a reasonable run of wall space — worth confirming before installation. For very high-volume operations where boards are in continuous use across multiple sections, it may be worth considering additional sets or a heavier-gauge alternative.
If you are setting up a new kitchen or reviewing your current food safety procedures and want to talk through what configuration would work best, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The six-colour system covers the standard food category splits — raw meat, poultry, fish, cooked foods, fruit and vegetables, and dairy or bakery — which addresses most allergen separation needs. For kitchens managing a particularly complex allergen matrix, it is worth reviewing whether additional dedicated boards for specific allergens are needed alongside the standard set.
- High density polyethylene is a practical, proven material for commercial kitchen use. It tolerates repeated commercial dishwasher cycles and resists the surface scoring that causes hygiene concerns over time. That said, as with any chopping board, boards that are heavily scored or warped should be replaced as part of routine kitchen hygiene practice.
- The rack is designed to hold six large boards side by side, so it does require a reasonable continuous section of wall — ideally in a prep or wash-up area with good airflow. It is worth measuring the available wall space before fitting, particularly in smaller kitchens where wall-mounted storage is already at a premium.
