Store boards upright and separated so they dry and do not transfer between surfaces. Replace any board with deep knife grooves — scored plastic harbours bacteria that washing cannot reach, and it is what inspectors look for. Wash in hot soapy water immediately after use, sanitise between food types, and never cut raw meat on a board you will then use for salad, regardless of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a single board, colour coding is the simplest food-safety system a kitchen can adopt. Against wooden boards, plastic can be sanitised properly and replaced cheaply when scored.
