Cut & Toss® is a winner among the Top Ten U.S. New Product Innovations of The Year

The Cold War may be over, but the war on germs and bacteria is just kicking into high gear. A record number of products debuted this year boasting antibacterial properties. One of the most clever was Cut & Toss® Disposable Cutting Boards. As the manufacturer notes, "the most sanitary cutting boards you can use are the ones you don't re-use!" More sanitary than wood or plastic cutting boards, Cut & Toss® is flexible with fold-up sides which make usage and cleanup a snap.

Statement About Cut & Toss® Disposable Cutting Boards

By Douglas L. Archer, Former FDA Deputy Director (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition). Currently, Professor and Chair at the University of Florida Food Science and Human Nutrition Department.

I am hopeful that by now, because of increased publicity, Americans are aware that food-borne disease is a growing problem. The Cut and Toss® Disposable cutting board can be an important part of how people can protect themselves from harmful micro-organisms associated with raw, animal derived products such as meats, poultry and fish.

Standard cutting boards, when used to cut raw poultry and meats, can lead to cross-contamination of ready to eat foods like salad vegetables unless they are well sanitized between uses. Unfortunately, few people either know how to adequately sanitize their cutting board or take the time to do it.

The Cut and Toss® concept, intended as a "one-use" cutting board, will effectively prevent potentially hazardous cross-contamination. Since the Cut and Toss can also be shaped such that raw meat and poultry juices will not leave the cutting area, further protection from cross-contamination will be achieved.

Cut and Toss® will be a valuable tool in preventing food-borne illness in the home.
