What color is the cutting board for raw meat?

  1. Blue

  2. Yellow

  3. Red

  4. Green

The correct answer is: Red

The color of the cutting board for raw meat is red. Using colored cutting boards helps to prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen, as different colors are designated for specific types of food to avoid mixing them up. In this case, the red cutting board is specifically used for raw meat to reduce the risk of cross-contaminating ready-to-eat foods with potentially harmful bacteria from the raw meat.
