The standard coding runs: \u003cstrong\u003ered for raw meat, blue for fish and seafood, yellow for raw poultry, green for fruit and vegetables, brown for cooked meat, white for dairy and bread, and purple for allergen-free preparation\u003c\/strong\u003e. That last one matters enormously in any kitchen serving customers with allergies. Available in \u003cstrong\u003e6, 8, 9 and 10 inch\u003c\/strong\u003e blades, so each station gets the right size.

The purple allergen-free knife should be stored separately and washed separately, since that is the one where a mistake has the most serious consequences. Never put kitchen knives in a dishwasher: heat and detergent damage edges and handles. Wash, dry and store immediately after use, hone regularly, and replace any knife whose handle colour has worn to the point of being unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a single set of knives, colour coding is the simplest food-safety system a kitchen can adopt and the one inspectors look for. Against a domestic knife block set, these are built for commercial service. For a home kitchen, even two or three coded knives — raw meat, produce, cooked food — meaningfully reduce risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does each colour mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed raw meat, blue fish and seafood, yellow raw poultry, green fruit and vegetables, brown cooked meat, white dairy and bread, purple allergen-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need matching boards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - knives alone solve half the problem.
