Plastic Cutting Boards Comparisons

Wooden Cutting Boards vs Plastic Cutting Boards
  • Wooden Cutting Boards: Wooden boards are safer. A test conducted at the University of Michigan in 1993 showed that bacteria die in 3 minutes, when left untouched on a wooden board. This is because wood has natural bacteria-killing properties.
  • Plastic Cutting Boards: The University of Michigan test showed that bacteria on the plastic board multiplied overnight on the plastic board.
