What color is the cutting board for raw meat?

  1. Red

  2. Blue

  3. Green

  4. Yellow

The correct answer is: Red

The correct answer is A. Red is the color of the cutting board that should be used specifically for raw meat. This color-coding system helps prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen. Using a red cutting board exclusively for raw meat helps to easily distinguish it from other cutting boards used for different types of food, reducing the risk of bacteria spreading from raw meat to ready-to-eat foods.
