The most sanitary type of cutting board is one that is well-maintained and is properly used and handled.Plastic cutting boards can be tossed into a dishwasher. Some wood boards should not. All boards should be cleaned properly after use and allowed to completely air dry. In food service, a sanitizing step must be included. That can be done at home, too. Use 1 tablespoon of unscented bleach in 1 gallon warm water. I keep a filled spray bottle handy. One study found that drying time of four hours worked very well to reduce bacteria, so don't forget the air-dry step.Having multiple cutting boards is always a good idea and designating the use (raw, cooked, etc.) is reasonable, too.Any board that has become difficult to clean and sanitize due to wear, cuts, and gouging, should be refinished or replaced.If you wanted to know if plastic is more sanitary than wood, the jury is still out. If you want a cutting board that is very easy to take care of and can just put in the dishwasher - use plastic. Wood requires more care, but can be just as sanitary as plastic.They are both safe as long as they are kept clean and you wash them before changing the foods you are cutting.
