Cutting Board PE – Brown

Heavy Duty PE Cutting Board – Brown (500 × 380 × 13mm) in food-grade high-density polyethylene. Part of a HACCP colour-coded set that helps commercial kitchens prevent cross-contamination by dedicating each board to a specific food group.

In the HACCP system the brown board is designated for cooked meat and prepared foods. Using a separate board for each food group keeps raw and ready-to-eat ingredients apart and supports your food-safety plan during inspections.

Why polyethylene (HDPE)?

High-density polyethylene is the food-industry standard board material: it is non-porous so it will not absorb juices or odours, gentle on knife edges, and dense enough to resist deep scoring. Unlike wooden boards, HDPE can go through a commercial dishwasher and can be resurfaced when heavily worn rather than replaced.

Care and cleaning

Wash after every task, sanitise between raw and cooked prep, and stand boards on edge to air-dry – never stack them wet. Replace or resurface any board with deep knife scores, as grooves can shelter bacteria beyond the reach of routine cleaning.
