Quick Answer

NSF approved and food-safe High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheets and cutting boards are crucial for maintaining hygiene and safety in busy restaurant kitchens. HDPE is highly durable, non-porous, and resistant to moisture, making it easy to clean and sanitize to prevent bacterial growth while being gentle on knife blades. Industrial Plastic Supply, Inc. provides certified HDPE materials, including popular .500 (1/2″) and 1.00″ thick sheets, and has supported restaurants with top-quality food-grade cutting boards for over 50 years. These materials meet rigorous demands and are available in various colors, such as yellow for chicken and red for red meat, to prevent cross-contamination.

Food Safe HDPE -Restaurant quality cutting boards, cut to your size

   Keeping food safe is a major concern at busy restaurants which is why many use Food Safe HDPE. One key is to keep the kitchen and all surfaces clean and sanitized. This includes all employees washing hands regularly, cleaningRestaurant quality cutting boards, cut to your size all surfaces and having food safe cutting stations. At the hub of all the food preparation is the cutting surfaces used to cut food. NSF and FDA have guidelines for keeping food preparation areas clean, and one main component is the cutting board. At home, most people cut some food for dinner and then scrub the cutting board they used before putting it away. In busy restaurants the cutting boards are used constantly throughout the day. During the slow times, kitchen staff takes time to clean. Industrial Plastic Supply, Inc. is proud to supply the premium certified HDPE materials designed for restaurant cutting surfaces.
