From meal prep to Charcuterie nights, chopping boards and sharing platters are kitchen staples, but could they be secretly affecting your gut health?
The Hidden Risks:
Whether it’s plastic, wood, or bamboo, chopping boards can become breeding grounds for bacteria, especially when used for both raw meats and fresh foods.
Even modern serving boards, those stylish wood, slate, or stone platters, can trap bacteria in grooves and pores if not cleaned properly.
Common culprits hiding on your boards:
- E. coli
- Salmonella
- Campylobacter
- Mold and yeasts
- Chemical residue (from treated woods or plastic degradation)
- These pathogens can transfer to food, even days later, and can trigger: Bloating
- IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) flare ups
- Food sensitivities
- Gut inflammation
- Chronic digestive issues
Did You Know?
Sharing platters served in restaurants or at home, especially with raw cheeses, cured meats, or cut fruit, can also harbor bacteria if the board isn’t thoroughly cleaned or is used repeatedly without proper drying.
