Details
There is no legal requirement to have different coloured chopping boards, but it is a good practice to have separate boards for different food groups to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and this Colour Code system will complement your Food Safety Program or Plan. It is particularly important to keep raw and ready to eat food separate - especially raw chicken.

The following 6-board colour-coding system is commonly used by manufacturer's of chopping boards (however, ensure you check your own chopping board system as the colour-coding varies between food businesses):
Red = Raw Red Meats
Yellow= Raw Chicken
Brown= Cooked Meats
Blue = Seafood
White = Dairy & Bakery
Green = Fruit & Vegetables
