  • Spot-On Colour Coding: The bright green handle makes it foolproof for veg and  salad prep.
  • Not for Heavy Duty: Best for herbs and  veg, not for jointing chicken or tougher jobs.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Garden Patch Café' in York needed to streamline their salad prep station and  tighten up their allergen handling procedures after a menu expansion.

"We were just using standard scissors and  hoping for the best. Switching to these green Hygiplas DM039 scissors was so simple but made our kitchen process much safer and  faster. The team knows exactly what they're for, no questions asked."

Robert Finch – Owner

The change immediately eliminated a key cross-contamination risk and  sped up salad plate preparation by an estimated 15% during busy lunch services.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give them a good wash with warm, soapy water and  dry completely.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach spot for them at your fruit and  veg prep station.
  • Brief your team on the colour-coding system: green is strictly for salad and  fruit, no exceptions!

Keeping It Going

  • Always wash and  dry immediately after each use to prevent residue build-up and  maintain hygiene.
  • Avoid leaving them to soak for long periods in the sink, as this can affect the blades over time.
  • Check the blades for sharpness regularly; they are a precision tool.
  • Store them in a knife block or a designated drawer to protect the blades from getting knocked and  damaged.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Kitchen Tools

Need a hand choosing? Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect utensils for your kitchen's needs.

Match Your System

Choose tools that fit your existing colour-coding system (e.g., red for raw meat, blue for raw fish) to maintain perfect consistency and  safety.

Think About Comfort

Look for ergonomic handles. If your team is using scissors for hours on end, a comfortable grip reduces fatigue and  improves precision.

Check the Material

Stainless steel is the industry standard for blades as it's durable, rust-resistant, and  easy to sanitise, ensuring a long and  reliable service life.

One Tool, One Job

Avoid the temptation to use one tool for everything. Dedicated utensils like these hygiene scissors for kitchens are vital for preventing cross-contamination.

Keep It Clean

Simple designs without hard-to-reach nooks and  crannies are far quicker to clean and  sanitise, saving valuable time during service and  close-down.

The Simple Genius of Colour Coding

Ever wondered why professional kitchens look like a rainbow of utensils? It’s not for decoration! The colour-coding system, like the bright green on these food safe scissors for catering, is a visual language for food safety. Think of it as a traffic light system for your ingredients. Green is the universal signal for fresh produce like fruit and  salad. This means a chef can grab these scissors instantly, knowing they haven't been used to, say, cut raw chicken (which would use a red board and  knife). It's a brilliantly simple, industry-standard method to prevent dangerous cross-contamination and  keep your customers, especially those with allergies, safe.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for prep stations to keep salad and  vegetable preparation separate and  safe.
  • School & Hospital Caterers: A simple, effective tool for enforcing strict hygiene standards in large-scale catering environments.
  • Delis & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for quickly and  hygienically snipping herbs, cress, and  salad ingredients to order.
  • Vegetarian & Vegan Cafés: The ideal dedicated scissors to guarantee zero cross-contamination with meat or dairy products.
