Professional Chefs use color-coded handles to improve safe food handling practices in the kitchen. Essential component of practicing a HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system, the different colored handles are typically used for specific types of food. Red for red meat, yellow for poultry, green for fresh produce, blue for raw fish, brown for cooked meat, and purple for dairy. Implementing this system, and sticking to it, will help prevent contamination of your food from raw to finished.
