What is a red color board used for?
Red – raw meat If you are preparing raw meat and poultry, you should use a red chopping board. Raw meat is a high risk food as it contains bacteria. This is why using a separate chopping board to prepare raw meat is key to preventing cross-contamination (and foodborne illnesses). For instance, a red board is typically reserved for raw meats, while a blue board might be used for fish, and a green board is generally designated for fruits and vegetables.
