Product Overview

Getting the basics right is the secret to any successful kitchen, and  it all starts with safe, organised food prep. This comprehensive commercial chopping board set from Hygiplas is your first line of defence against cross-contamination. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense solution designed to help you meet the highest standards of food hygiene, whether you're dicing vegetables or slicing raw meat. Simple, effective, and  built for the daily grind of a professional environment.

Perfect for bustling cafés, restaurant kitchens, pub grub prep stations, and  mobile caterers, this pack gives you everything you need to get started. The set includes seven distinct, colour-coded boards, making it incredibly easy for your team to follow food safety protocols instinctively. Made from low density polyethylene, these boards are lightweight enough to handle with ease but tough enough for constant use. They won't absorb odours or bacteria, and  a quick cycle in the dishwasher is all it takes to get them perfectly clean.

This isn't just a collection of chopping boards; it's a fundamental part of a robust HACCP-compliant system. By assigning a colour to each food type—red for raw meat, blue for fish, and  so on—you instantly minimise risks and  streamline your workflow. For any professional kitchen where safety and  efficiency are paramount, this small colour coded chopping board set is the smart, affordable, and  essential choice.

Expert Review and  Insights

The Hygiplas CH049 set is the definition of a kitchen workhorse. It does one job—providing a safe, colour-coded prep system—and it does it brilliantly without any fuss. The LDPE material is a smart choice for fast-paced environments where boards are constantly being moved and  washed. It’s a foundational piece of kit that every new kitchen should have from day one.

  • Pro: The colour-coding is clear and  vibrant, simplifying food safety for all staff.
  • Con: Being LDPE, they will show knife marks faster than heavier HDPE boards.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby recently overhauled its small kitchen to improve workflow and  tighten up its food safety procedures. They replaced their old, mismatched boards with the Hygiplas CH049 7 piece commercial chopping boards to create a clear and  compliant system.

"The difference was immediate. Staff could grab the right board without a second thought, and  our local EHO was really impressed on their last visit. It just makes everything simpler and  safer."

Michael Edwards – Head Chef

The bistro noted a significant reduction in prep time and  eliminated any ambiguity around their cross-contamination controls, making service smoother.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash each board thoroughly with hot, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle.
  • Assign each coloured board to its specific food group and, if possible, its own prep area.
  • Use a chopping board rack (sold separately) to allow boards to air dry properly and  stay organised.
  • Post a colour-code chart nearby so all kitchen staff can see it at a glance.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean boards immediately after use to prevent bacteria from multiplying.
  • These low density polyethylene chopping boards are dishwasher safe for a thorough, high-temperature clean.
  • Never use a scourer or abrasive cleaner, as this can create deep grooves where bacteria can hide.
  • Replace any board that becomes heavily scored or damaged, as deep cuts are difficult to clean effectively.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Boards

Not sure which chopping boards are right for your business? Here are a few things to consider to make the perfect choice.

Size and  Thickness

Consider your counter space. This smaller set is great for compact kitchens, while larger operations might need bigger boards for bulk prep. Thickness affects durability and  weight.

Colour-Coding is a Must

A colour-coded system is the industry standard for food safety. A full set ensures you have a dedicated, hygienic surface for every type of food, from raw meat to fresh veg.

Material Matters: LDPE vs HDPE

LDPE (like this set) is lightweight and  cost-effective, ideal for general use. HDPE is denser, heavier, and  more resistant to knife marks but comes at a higher price point.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for non-porous and  dishwasher-safe materials. A non-absorbent surface prevents bacteria and  odours from lingering and  makes sanitising a simple task.

Storage Solutions

How will you store them? A dedicated rack not only keeps your kitchen tidy but also allows boards to air dry properly, which is crucial for hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does each colour stand for?

A: Generally, the UK standard is: Red (raw meat), Blue (raw fish), Yellow (cooked meat), Green (salad/fruit), Brown (vegetables), White (bakery/dairy), and  Purple (allergens).

Q: Are these boards flexible?

A: No, these are rigid 12mm thick boards designed for stable chopping on a flat surface.

Q: What is LDPE?

A: LDPE stands for Low Density Polyethylene. It's a lightweight, non-toxic, and  non-absorbent plastic that's ideal for food preparation surfaces.

Q: Will these boards warp in the dishwasher?

A: They are designed to be dishwasher safe under standard commercial dishwasher temperatures. Avoid letting them rest against heating elements.

Q: Do they dull knives quickly?

A: LDPE is a relatively soft plastic, which is gentle on knife edges compared to harder materials like glass or stone.

Q: How can I remove stains like beetroot or turmeric?

A: For tough stains, a solution of bleach and  water or a specialised food-safe cleaning agent can be used. Always rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Q: Why is a 7-board set better than just a few?

A: A full 7-board set, like this Hygiplas CH049 chopping boards pack, allows for complete separation, including a board for cooked meats and  allergens, which is crucial for full HACCP compliance.

Q: Can I resurface the boards if they get too scored?

A: Due to their thickness and  material, these boards are not designed to be resurfaced. They should be replaced when they become excessively worn.

Why Colour-Coding is Your Kitchen's Best Friend

Ever wondered why professional kitchens use a rainbow of chopping boards? It's not for decoration! The colour-coding system is a simple yet powerful tool to prevent cross-contamination, which is when harmful bacteria spread from one food to another. For example, bacteria from raw chicken can cause serious illness if it gets onto a ready-to-eat salad.

Think of it like a traffic light system for food prep. Each colour has a specific job: red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, yellow for cooked meats, green for salads and  fruit, brown for vegetables, and  white for bakery or dairy. By strictly using the right board, you create a physical barrier that stops germs from crossing over. This set makes following the rules effortless, protecting your customers and  your reputation with every single chop.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Local Cafés: Perfect for organising sandwich, salad, and  cake prep in a compact and  hygienic way.
  • Bistros & Small Restaurants: An essential starter pack for new kitchens to ensure HACCP compliance from the get-go.
  • Mobile Catering Vans: The lightweight and  space-saving design makes this ideal for safe food prep on the move.
  • School & College Canteens: A cost-effective solution for teaching and  maintaining high food safety standards in an educational setting.
