View Board Stands →The HACCP Colour System
In the HACCP system each colour is dedicated to a food group: red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, yellow for raw poultry, green for fruit and vegetables, brown for cooked meat, white for bakery and dairy, and purple for allergen-free prep. Dedicating a board to each keeps raw and ready-to-eat foods apart.

Building a Colour-Coded Set for Your Kitchen
For most commercial kitchens a full seven-colour set covers every food group: red (raw meat), blue (raw fish), yellow (raw poultry), green (fruit and veg), brown (cooked meat), white (bakery and dairy) and purple (allergen-free). Smaller operations may start with red, blue, green and white and expand as needed.
Choose standard or heavy-duty thickness based on throughput — heavy-duty boards suit high-volume kitchens and butcheries. Store boards upright on a stand so they dry fully between uses, and replace any board that becomes deeply scored, since grooves can harbour bacteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the cutting board colours mean?
Each colour is dedicated to a food group to prevent cross-contamination: red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, yellow for raw poultry, green for produce, brown for cooked meat, white for bakery and dairy, and purple for allergen-free prep.
What size are the boards?
Our standard PE boards are 500 × 380 × 13mm, which fits standard prep stations and board racks. Heavy-duty versions use the same footprint in a thicker, more durable grade.
How often should cutting boards be replaced?
Replace any board that is deeply scored or warped — deep knife grooves trap bacteria that cleaning cannot fully remove. With proper care, commercial PE boards last a long time.
