When should you replace your cutting board?

Replace your cutting board when it shows signs of significant wear, such as deep grooves, cracks, or discoloration. These imperfections can harbor bacteria and make the board unsafe for food preparation. Regular inspection and maintenance can help you determine when it’s time for a replacement.

Color-coded cutting boards help prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen. Assigning specific colors for different types of food—such as red for raw meat, green for vegetables, and blue for seafood—can improve food safety and organization in both home and commercial kitchens.
