Using different color cutting boards helps eliminate cross-contamination of your raw and cooked foods. For instance, if raw chicken touches cooked chicken, it could contaminate it by transferring bacteria and potentially causing food poisoning for your guests – and you definitely don’t want that, and the bd reputation that can come with such an incident!
The use of color cutting boards in your restaurant, commercial or home chef kitchen also help prevent any possible food allergy issues. You don’t want to prepare raw fish on the same cutting board you used in other parts of that person’s meal prep, just in case your guest or patron is allergic to fish!
Each color of cutting board can be employed for preparation of a specific food group. Cutting board color codes will enable you to separate different cutting boards specific to different food groups.
