Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Olive Branch Deli in York decided to expand its sandwich menu to include dedicated vegan and  gluten-free options but was concerned about cross-contamination. They equipped their prep station with Hygiplas purple and  green boards to create a clear separation.

"We needed a foolproof system that any member of staff could follow instantly. The purple boards for allergens were the answer. There’s no ambiguity, our prep is faster, and  our customers with allergies have been so grateful for the extra care we're taking."

Michael Edwards – Owner

The move allowed them to confidently market their new menu, resulting in a 15% growth in lunchtime takeaway orders within two months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give the board a thorough wash with hot, soapy water and  sanitise it.
  • Immediately designate it for 'allergen use only' to embed the practice with your kitchen team.
  • For extra stability during vigorous chopping, place the board on a damp cloth or a non-slip mat.
  • Store it separately from other coloured boards, either in a dedicated rack or on a separate shelf.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean and  sanitise the board thoroughly after every single use, especially after contact with common allergens.
  • The board is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a guaranteed hygienic clean.
  • Regularly check the surface for deep scratches or grooves.
  • To prolong its life, avoid using serrated knives which can damage the surface more quickly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Board

Need a hand picking the perfect board? Here are a few key pointers to help you decide.

Colour is Your Code

Using a colour-coded system is the easiest way to prevent cross-contamination. Purple is the recognised UK standard for free-from and  allergenic ingredients.

Thickness Equals Toughness

A thicker board, like this 10mm one, is far more durable. It provides a stable cutting surface and  is much less likely to warp in a hot dishwasher.

Material Matters Most

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is the professional's choice. Unlike wood, it's non-porous and  non-toxic, so it won't absorb germs or contaminate food.

Get the Right Size

This 450x305mm size is a great all-rounder for most prep tasks. It's large enough for efficient work but still easy to handle, wash, and  store.

Look for Hygiene Helpers

An antibacterial surface is a fantastic extra feature. It actively works to stop bacteria from multiplying, adding another layer of safety to your kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is this chopping board purple?

A: In the UK catering industry, purple is the standard colour designated for chopping boards used exclusively with allergenic ingredients, such as for preparing gluten-free or nut-free foods.

Q: What does 'high density' actually do for a chopping board?

A: It makes the plastic much tougher and  less porous. This means it's more resistant to knife scores, won't absorb liquids or odours, and  is less likely to harbour bacteria.

Q: Can I put this in my commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, absolutely. This Hygiplas board is designed to be fully commercial dishwasher safe for easy and  effective sanitisation.

Q: Is the material completely food-safe?

A: Yes, it's made from non-toxic, food-grade High Density Polyethylene, which is the industry standard for safe food preparation.

Q: Will this board warp easily?

A: The high-density construction offers excellent resistance to warping, even with repeated high-temperature washing, unlike cheaper, thinner boards.

Q: How does the 'antibacterial' surface work?

A: The material is manufactured with a special additive that actively disrupts and  inhibits the growth of common kitchen bacteria on the board's surface.

Q: How can I stop it slipping on a stainless steel surface?

A: While it's a heavyweight board which helps it stay put, the safest method is always to place a damp, folded cloth or a non-slip mat underneath it.

Q: When should I replace my chopping board?

A: You should replace any plastic chopping board when it becomes heavily scored or grooved. Deep cuts can be hard to clean properly and  can trap bacteria.

How a 'High Density' Board Protects Your Kitchen

Ever wondered what 'High-Density Polyethylene' (HDPE) actually means for a chopping board? Think of it like the difference between a sponge and  a brick. A cheap, low-density board is more porous, almost like a very hard sponge. Over time, knife cuts create tiny grooves that can trap food particles and  bacteria, and  it's more likely to bend or warp when washed at high temperatures. This Hygiplas purple chopping board, being HDPE, is the brick. Its material is incredibly compressed, making it non-porous and  far more resistant to deep scoring. This means there are fewer places for germs to hide, it won’t soak up liquids or smells, and  it will stay flat and  stable for much, much longer. It’s a simple detail that makes a huge difference to daily hygiene and  long-term value.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: An essential for any kitchen offering gluten-free or other allergen-specific dishes, preventing dangerous mix-ups during service.
  • Schools & Hospitals: Perfect for protecting vulnerable people by ensuring allergens are prepared on dedicated, easily identified surfaces.
  • Bakeries & Cafés: A must-have for preparing nut-free cakes or coeliac-friendly sandwiches, giving customers confidence in your food safety.
  • Caterers & Food Stalls: Its robust, portable design makes it ideal for maintaining the highest hygiene standards at events and  markets.
