Product Overview

Getting your food prep sorted starts with the basics, and  it doesn’t get more fundamental than this. Here we have the Hygiplas Thick Low Density Chopping Board Set, a proper workhorse for any professional kitchen that’s serious about food safety. This isn't your average set of flimsy domestic boards; it’s a robust, commercial-grade system designed to make life easier and  safer for your entire team.

So, who’s it for? From bustling gastropubs and  hotel kitchens to school canteens and  high-street cafes, this 6-piece colour-coded chopping board set is the industry standard. Each of the six boards has a distinct, highly visible colour corresponding to a specific food group, which massively reduces the risk of cross-contamination. It’s a simple, visual way to keep raw meat, cooked food, fish, and  veg completely separate, helping you breeze through those EHO inspections.

With a chunky 20mm thickness, these boards are built to last, providing a stable cutting surface that won’t warp under pressure. Made from non-toxic, non-absorbent, and  easy-to-clean LDPE, they are the foundation of a safe and  efficient kitchen. If you're looking to upgrade your food safety practices with a single, effective purchase, this is it.

Every professional kitchen needs a reliable set of boards, and  this Hygiplas S677 pack is a cracking choice.

  • Pro: The 20mm thickness gives them a reassuring heft and  durability for heavy chopping.
  • Con: This is a big set; you’ll definitely need a proper storage rack to keep them tidy.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour Lights Fish & Chip shop in Falmouth was struggling with a mix-and-match collection of old, heavily scored chopping boards. They upgraded to the Hygiplas S677 commercial kitchen chopping board set to improve their food safety workflow and  prepare for their annual inspection.

"Having a clear, colour-coded system for our fish, potatoes, and  other prep has made training new staff so much easier. Everyone knows the rules at a glance, and  it just makes the whole kitchen feel more professional and  organised. It’s a weight off my mind."

Robert Davies – Owner

The result was a smoother, faster prep process and  a 5-star food hygiene rating during their next EHO visit, with the inspector specifically praising their new setup.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give all six boards a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach area for your chopping boards, ideally with a storage rack.
  • Pin up a colour-coding chart nearby so all staff, new or old, are clear on what each colour represents.
  • Brief your team on the new system to ensure everyone understands the importance of sticking to the colours.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean boards immediately after use to prevent staining and  bacteria growth.
  • While dishwasher safe, avoid excessively high-temperature cycles to prolong the life of the boards.
  • Use a non-abrasive brush for stubborn food particles to avoid creating deep scratches.
  • Replace any board that becomes excessively worn or heavily scored, as deep grooves can harbour bacteria.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Chopping Boards

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the best boards for your business.

Thickness is Key

Thicker boards (like this 20mm set) are more durable, less likely to warp in the dishwasher, and  provide a much more stable cutting surface.

Material Matters

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a great choice as it's non-porous, gentle on knife edges, and  lightweight enough for easy handling.

Colour-Coding is a Must

Don't skip this. A full colour-coded system is the simplest way to comply with food safety laws and  prevent dangerous cross-contamination.

Think About Storage

A full set of commercial boards needs a home. Plan to get a wall-mounted or freestanding rack to keep them organised and  allow them to air dry properly.

Avoid Wooden Boards

While attractive, wood is porous and  can harbour bacteria, making it unsuitable for most commercial kitchen environments where different food types are prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does each colour stand for?

A: The standard UK system is: Red (raw meat), Blue (raw fish), Yellow (cooked meat), Green (salad & fruit), Brown (vegetables), and  White (bakery & dairy).

Q: Are these boards really dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, they are designed for commercial dishwashers. However, to maximise their lifespan, avoid the most intense, high-heat cycles where possible.

Q: What is LDPE and  why is it used?

A: LDPE stands for Low-Density Polyethylene. It's a type of plastic that is non-toxic, non-absorbent, and  slightly softer than other plastics, which helps protect your knife blades from dulling.

Q: Will these boards stain with things like beetroot or curry spices?

A: The non-porous surface resists staining well. For best results, wash the boards as soon as possible after use with strong-coloured foods.

Q: How often should I replace my chopping boards?

A: You should replace them when they become heavily scored or grooved. Deep scratches can trap food and  bacteria, making them difficult to clean properly.

Q: Are these colour coded cutting boards better than a single wooden board?

A: Absolutely. For a commercial environment, a colour-coded plastic set is essential for preventing cross-contamination, which is a major food safety risk with a single porous wooden board.

Q: Can I buy single replacement boards if one gets damaged?

A: Yes, Hygiplas boards are typically available individually, allowing you to replace just the one you need without buying a whole new set.

Q: Are the boards heavy?

A: The full set weighs 15.6kg, so each board has a reassuring weight to it, making it stable on the countertop. However, they are made from LDPE, which is lighter than high-density alternatives, making them easy to move and  clean.

More Than Just Colours: Why HACCP Coding is a Kitchen Lifesaver

You see 'colour-coded' everywhere, but what does it actually do for you? Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients. Red means stop and  think (raw meat), green means go (vegetables and  fruit), blue is for fish, and  so on. This simple visual language instantly tells any member of your kitchen team what to use, where, and  when, without them needing to second-guess.

This isn't just about being tidy; it's the core of a Hazard Analysis and  Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan. It's a system designed to prevent food safety hazards, and  using a colour coded chopping board set is one of the easiest and  most effective ways to put it into practice. When an Environmental Health Officer visits, seeing this system in place immediately shows them you're taking food safety seriously. It reduces the risk of dangerous bacteria like E. coli or salmonella spreading from raw meat to ready-to-eat foods, protecting both your customers and  your reputation.
