Frequently Asked Questions
Is HDPE safe for food contact?
Yes, HDPE cutting board material is FDA-compliant and completely safe for direct food contact. It's non-toxic, non-porous, and commonly used in commercial food service and food processing facilities. The material meets all safety standards for food preparation surfaces.
How do I clean and sanitize HDPE cutting boards?
HDPE cutting boards can be washed with hot, soapy water and sanitized with diluted bleach solution or commercial sanitizers. They're also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The non-porous surface won't absorb liquids or harbor bacteria like wood can.
Will HDPE dull my knives faster than wood?
HDPE is relatively gentle on knife edges - softer than glass or ceramic but slightly harder than wood. For professional kitchens, the hygiene benefits and durability of HDPE typically outweigh the minimal difference in knife wear compared to wood cutting boards.
Why use different colored cutting boards?
Color-coded cutting boards are a food safety best practice that prevents cross-contamination. Common systems use different colors for raw meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and cooked foods. This is especially important in commercial kitchens and food processing facilities.
