Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Café in Penzance recently upgraded its kitchen facilities to prepare for the busy summer season and a scheduled council hygiene inspection. They chose the Hygiplas chopping board set to standardise their food prep process across their team.
"The colour system is so simple, there's no room for error. The new starters get it straight away, and it's just made our whole back-of-house operation feel more professional and, most importantly, safer."
Michael Davies – Owner
The result was a smoother workflow during busy periods and a confident pass on their food safety audit, earning them a 5-star rating.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack all seven boards from the set upon arrival.
- Before the first use, wash each board thoroughly with hot, soapy water or run them through a commercial dishwasher cycle.
- Post a colour-coding chart (often available online or from food safety bodies) in a visible place in the kitchen as a reminder for all staff.
- Designate a clean, dry storage area, ideally using a vertical rack to allow for air circulation.
Keeping It Going
- Clean boards immediately after each use to prevent food from drying on the surface.
- For a deep clean, all boards are safe for use in a commercial dishwasher.
- To prevent slipping on stainless steel surfaces, place a damp, clean cloth underneath the board during use.
- Regularly inspect boards for deep knife grooves or scoring. Replace any board that becomes heavily damaged, as deep cuts can harbour bacteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do the different colours in the set stand for?
A: The standard HACCP colours are: Red for raw meat, Blue for raw fish, Yellow for cooked meat, Green for salad & fruit, Brown for vegetables, White for bakery & dairy, and Purple for 'free-from' allergens.
Q: Are these boards definitely safe to put in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, they are made from dishwasher-safe Low Density Polyethylene, designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial cleaning cycles.
Q: What exactly is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)?
A: LDPE is a type of food-safe plastic that is known for being lightweight, flexible, and non-toxic. It's slightly softer on knife edges compared to harder plastics like HDPE.
Q: How can I stop the boards from sliding on my worktop?
A: A common and effective trick is to place a damp, clean j-cloth or a thin, non-slip mat underneath the chopping board to keep it securely in place.
Q: How thick are these chopping boards?
A: Each board in this set has a thickness of 10mm, providing a stable and durable cutting surface for commercial use.
Q: Will these boards blunt my knives quickly?
A: No, the LDPE material is relatively soft and is generally considered to be gentle on knife edges, helping to maintain their sharpness for longer than harder surfaces.
Q: When should I think about replacing my chopping boards?
A: You should replace your boards when they become heavily scored, warped, or have deep grooves that are difficult to clean, as these can harbour bacteria.
Q: Does this large low density chopping board set come with a storage rack?
A: This particular set includes the seven chopping boards. A compatible storage rack can be purchased separately to keep them organised and help them air dry correctly.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy Colour-Coding is Your Kitchen's Best Friend
You've seen colour-coded boards everywhere, but what does it really do for you? It's the simplest, most effective way to implement a core principle of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system—preventing cross-contamination. Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients: red is universally for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salads and fruit. There's no need to memorise complex rules or second-guess yourself during a hectic service. This visual system physically separates high-risk foods from ready-to-eat items, dramatically cutting the risk of spreading harmful bacteria like salmonella or E. coli. It's not just a set of coloured boards; it's a frontline defence for your customers' safety and your business's reputation.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs & Restaurants: Essential for separating raw meat, fish, and vegetable prep to meet rigorous food hygiene standards.
- Mobile Caterers: A complete, portable pack to ensure food safety compliance at festivals, events, and pop-ups.
- Schools & Care Homes: Provides a clear, visual system to enforce hygiene rules in high-risk catering environments.
- Butchers & Delis: Perfect for maintaining strict separation between raw and cooked meats, cheeses, and other products.
