Demystifying FDA and USDA Approved Cutting Boards: Choosing the Right One for Your Kitchen

Demystifying FDA and USDA Approved Cutting Boards: Choosing the Right One for Your Kitchen

In the realm of food safety, selecting the right cutting board is paramount. Fortunately, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offer guidelines and approvals for cutting boards to ensure maximum safety. While the FDA doesn't explicitly approve cutting boards, it does establish criteria for safe food contact materials. Plastic cutting boards made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are FDA-approved for their non-porous nature, making them easier to clean and less prone to harboring bacteria. Although the FDA does not endorse specific wood types, hardwoods like maple, walnut, and cherry are popular choices due to their natural antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, alongside these approved options, customized cutting boards can be tailored to special orders, enhancing both safety and personalization in your kitchen.

Note: It is important to maintain proper hygiene practices and regular cleaning for all types of cutting boards.
