Hidden dangers on your cutting board and how to stay safe
Your kitchen chopping block, a vital tool, harbours bacteria in tiny scratches, posing a cross-contamination risk. While wood has natural inhibitors, both plastic and wood boards require diligent cleaning and sanitisation. Experts advise using separate boards for raw meat and vegetables to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your meals. Replace worn-out boards promptly for safer food preparation.
