Expert Review and  Insights

In today's world, having a dedicated board for allergens isn't just good practice—it's essential for customer trust and  safety. The Hygiplas FX110 makes this incredibly simple. Its antibacterial properties and  unmistakable colour coding take the pressure off busy chefs, providing a reliable tool that supports a robust food hygiene protocol without any fuss.

  • Strongest Point: The antibacterial surface gives genuine peace of mind beyond standard colour coding.
  • Consideration: Being LDPE, it's kinder on knives but may show scoring quicker than HDPE boards.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in Bath recently overhauled its kitchen processes to better cater for the growing number of customers with specific dietary requirements, especially coeliac disease. They needed a simple, visual system to prevent any risk of cross-contamination.

"Introducing the purple Hygiplas boards was a simple but profound step for us. The staff immediately understood the system, and  our gluten-free customers feel so much more confident ordering from us. It's a small change that made a huge difference to our operations and  our reputation."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Lavender Tea Room

The change helped them streamline their allergen prep, boosting staff efficiency and  practically eliminating the risk of cross-contact errors during busy periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water before its first use.
  • Assign it to a dedicated 'allergen-only' prep area to maintain its integrity.
  • Ensure all kitchen staff are trained on what the purple colour code signifies.
  • Store it in a clean, dry rack, separate from other coloured boards.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean immediately after each use to prevent food residue from drying on the surface.
  • The board is dishwasher safe for high-temperature sanitisation.
  • Regularly inspect the board for any deep cuts or grooves where bacteria could hide.
  • To prolong its life, avoid using serrated knives which can cause excessive scoring.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Board

Not sure which board is right for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Understand the Colour Code

Colour coding is the foundation of a safe kitchen. Purple is for allergens, red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for fruit & veg, yellow for cooked meat, and  white for bakery/dairy. Using the system correctly is vital.

Material Matters

Low Density (LDPE) boards like this one are lightweight and  kind to your knives. High Density (HDPE) boards are heavier and  more rigid. Wood is traditional but requires more maintenance and  isn't always permitted in commercial settings.

Size and  Thickness

Consider your counter space and  typical prep tasks. A larger board is great for big jobs, but a smaller one like this 450x300mm board is versatile and  easy to handle and  store. A 10mm thickness provides stability without being too heavy.

Look for Key Features

Features like an antibacterial surface offer an extra layer of safety. Some boards may have non-slip feet or juice grooves, so think about what would make your workflow easier.

Ease of Cleaning

A non-porous, dishwasher-safe board is the gold standard for hygiene and  convenience in a busy commercial kitchen, saving you valuable time on cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purple colour specifically for?

A: In the HACCP colour-coding system, purple is reserved for use with 'free-from' or allergenic ingredients, such as gluten-free bread or nuts, to prevent cross-contamination.

Q: Is this chopping board dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe, allowing for easy and  effective high-temperature sanitisation.

Q: What does Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) mean for a chopping board?

A: LDPE is a softer, more lightweight plastic than standard HDPE. This makes the board easier to handle and  a little kinder to your knife edges, though it may show scoring more easily.

Q: How does the antibacterial feature work?

A: The material contains a food-safe additive that is integrated during manufacturing. This additive disrupts the life cycle of bacteria, preventing them from multiplying on the board's surface.

Q: Can I use this for preparing raw meat?

A: No, you should not. To avoid cross-contamination, raw meat should be prepared on a red chopping board according to standard food hygiene practices.

Q: Is the surface non-absorbent?

A: Yes, the LDPE material is non-porous and  non-absorbent, meaning it won't take on liquids, food odours, or stains.

A: The board measures 450mm in width, 300mm in depth, and  has a thickness of 10mm.
