HDPE Cutting Board - Natural

 

HDPE Overview
What are HDPE cutting boards?

HDPE cutting board is a USDA and FDA approved plastic sheet designed for durability, low maintenance, and safety. HDPE cutting board resists bacteria and moisture unlike materials such as wood. HDPE cutting board is easy to machine and has excellent long term durability, making it ideal for kitchens and other food preparation applications.

Customers Also Asked:
Is HDPE good for cutting boards?

HDPE is a great material for cutting board. HDPE cutting board will not absorb bacteria, splinter, chip, swell, peel, rot, warp, bend, or crack unlike wood and other materials. HDPE cutting board's matte surface safely holds food in place without slipping and will not absorb moisture. HDPE cutting board is USDA and FDA approved, HDPE is safe to use.

What type of plastic is best for cutting board?

Textured HDPE sheet is the best plastic for cutting board. Textured HDPE provides the best grip for working with food safely, and will not dull knives. USDA and FDA approved, HDPE cutting board is bacteria resistant, easy to clean, and dishwasher safe.

Is HDPE food safe?

Virgin, non-recycled HDPE is food safe. Products made of recycled HDPE are not necessarily food safe and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the FDA to determine . Virgin HDPE is great for food preparation applications because it resists bacteria, corrosion, and does not leach chemicals.

Are plastic chopping boards healthy?

Yes, plastic chopping boards are safe for one's health as long as they are kept clean and sanitized regularly. Plastic chopping boards are non-porous and don't absorb bacteria as easily as wooden boards, making them less likely to harbor bacteria. It is important to remember to use different boards for different types of food (raw meats, fruits, vegetables, etc.), and to clean and sanitize them after each use.

Which is better to use wooden or plastic chopping board?

Plastic chopping and cutting boards are generally easier to clean and sanitize and are less likely to harbor bacteria. Wooden boards can be treated with natural oils to help protect them from absorbing bacteria, but plastic chopping boards are naturally non-porous and therefore far less likely to hold on to bacteria when cleaning.
