Why Use Color Coded Chopping Boards?

Spreading germs around the kitchen increases the chances of food poisoning. Using a board for one type of food will reduce the likelihood of those germs transferring from raw food to ready-cooked food. This is a major cause of food poisoning, which can prove fatal to vulnerable groups such as young babies and the elderly as they are more at risk from infection.

So what are the colors of the boards, and which should you use for what?

BLUE for fish or seafood.

YELLOW for raw poultry such as chicken and turkey.

RED for raw meats.

BROWN for root vegetables.

GREEN for salad and fruits.

WHITE for dairy products and bread.

Variations on the code have Brown for cooked meats and make no distinction between salad and root vegetables.
