Neoflam coded cutting board embodies the virtues of cleanliness, functionality and refinement. Color icons on each cutting side clearly indicate the food surface type, which helps against cross-contamination up to 6 different food types. Antimicrobial protection is also built into the board, inhibiting the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria. Compact organizer included for convenient, upright storage and display. Dishwasher safe - wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before first use. Antimicrobial protection does not protect against food borne illness. Normal cleaning practices should be maintained.
