Kitchen Cutting Boards color code

What are the recommended chopping board colours for food safely? Different colour-coded chopping boards are used to separate different types of food groups, for example, raw and cooked meat. The use of bold and easily identifiable colours provides chefs and kitchen staff the ability to quickly identify the correct chopping board for the job. From vegetable preparations to carving cooked meat, colour-coded boards promote strong kitchen hygiene practices.
