SFBB Training UK_ The Significance of Color Coding in Food Prep Quiz

Color coding in food preparation is a crucial practice to prevent cross-contamination and ensure food safety. In the UK, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends using dedicated color-coded chopping boards and utensils for different food types, especially raw and cooked meat/poultry/fish, fresh foods, and allergens.

The standard color-coding system typically includes:

- **Red**: Raw meat
- **Blue**: Raw fish
- **Yellow**: Cooked meats
- **Green**: Salads and fruits
- **Brown**: Vegetables
- **White**: Dairy and bakery products

Implementing this system helps prevent harmful bacteria from spreading between different food types, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
