Does bamboo cutting board get moldy?

Advantages and disadvantages of bamboo chopping boards

1. Advantages:

Easy to clean and air dry, less prone to mould and crumbling than wooden ones, durable, light weight; suitable for cutting cooked food or vegetables and fruits.

2.Disadvantages:

Easy to crack over time; too hard, lacks toughness and can hurt the blade, so not suitable for cutting hard things either; spliced bamboo chopping board with many small gaps, easy to breed bacteria.

I believe that any cutting board of any material, if not used properly, will produce mould and begin to breed. Our factory produces mostly whole bamboo chopping boards, one is that the process has been improved so that there is no need to add supplies such as adhesives to the whole bamboo chopping board during production. Another is that a whole bamboo chopping board is a complete unit and is less likely to harbour bacteria than a spliced board. It also comes with mold on bamboo cutting board for cleaning the chopping board. This is done to enhance the customer experience.

Can I use a moldy cutting board?

When a chopping board is mouldy, it is best not to use it again or to clean and disinfect it before using it again. Aflatoxin is defined as a Class 1 carcinogen by the International Health Organisation and is highly toxic and carcinogenic, so chopping boards should not be used when mouldy.
