Plastic colour-coded chopping board can help avoid cross-contamination of food in your kitchen.
As an essential part of any food preparation area or professional kitchen, colour-coded chopping boards safeguard your kitchen hygiene and ensure raw and cooked foods do not transfer bacteria.
Colour-coded chopping board sets are used by professional chefs and promote best practice food hygiene in the workplace. Although home kitchens may not necessarily need a full chopping board set, Sunnex recommends that home cooks invest in two plastic boards (yellow & red) to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination from harmful bacteria to you and your family.
