Price Match

This is a standard pack of six colour-coded chopping boards made from low density polyethylene, supplied in the recognised set of six colours used across commercial catering to reduce cross-contamination risk during food preparation. Each colour corresponds to a specific food group — raw meat, raw fish, cooked meat, salad and fruit, bakery goods, and vegetables — giving kitchen staff a clear, consistent system to work from without having to think twice during a busy service.

Low density polyethylene is a practical choice for everyday prep work. The boards are lightweight and easy to handle, clean down quickly, and hold up well under regular use in a fast-paced kitchen environment. They are suitable for machine washing, which matters in kitchens where boards cycle through service multiple times a day.

The practical advantages of keeping a full colour-coded set in circulation include:

  • Clear visual system that helps staff avoid cross-contamination without additional instruction
  • Lightweight construction that is easy to move between prep stations
  • Low density polyethylene surface is straightforward to clean and maintain
  • Pack of six covers the standard food group categories in a single purchase
  • Consistent with food safety and HACCP colour-coding guidelines commonly followed in UK kitchens

These boards are suited to most commercial kitchens as a standard prep tool — from small independent restaurants and cafés through to contract catering and school kitchens. For very high-volume sites where boards take significant daily punishment, a thicker or higher-density board may offer better longevity, and it is worth considering how often your boards are replaced as part of routine hygiene practice.

If you are building out a prep station or reviewing your colour-coding setup more broadly, we are happy to help you work out what makes sense for your kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

Are these boards suitable for a kitchen that follows HACCP colour-coding guidelines?

Yes — the six colours in this set correspond to the standard food group categories widely recognised under HACCP-based food safety systems used in UK commercial kitchens. They provide a practical, low-cost way to maintain a consistent colour-coded prep system across your team.

How durable are low density polyethylene boards under heavy daily use?

Low density polyethylene boards are well suited to regular prep work and handle daily use reliably in most kitchens. For very high-volume operations where boards are in continuous use throughout the day, a thicker or higher-density board may offer a longer service life before replacement is needed.

Can these boards be put through a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, these boards are suitable for machine washing, which is important in kitchens where boards need to be turned around quickly between uses. Regular machine washing also supports good hygiene practice, though boards should be inspected periodically and replaced when surface scoring becomes significant.
