1. Cutting Boards and Grazing Platters
2. Organic Designs Cutting Boards and Grazing Platters are exclusively made from Camphor Laurel timber, because of the “natural” and “permanent” Antibacterial qualities of the timber.
3. The Camphor Laurel tree is an introduced species to Australia and we reasonably source all our timber.
4. After milling the slabs, they are placed into a solar powered kiln and dried for approximately 40 days, which reduces the moisture content and kills all borers that may be present in the slabs.
5. Kiln drying stabilises the timber and prevents it from cracking, twisting, warping, cupping and going mouldy.
6. Dry timber = stable timber
7. All our Cutting Boards and Grazing Platters are produced from ONE single slab of timber, which means no glued joints which will split in the future.
8. There are NO chemicals used on the timber in any stage of the production process.
9. These boards are designed to be durable & stay in beautiful condition even after extended usage.
Fact – After consultation with Queensland Health then directed to Food Standards Australia New Zealand whereby we were advised on the food standard we received this extract from Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
According to FOOD STANDARDS AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND it is stated on page 130 of standard 3.2.3
“The use of hard, close grained wood can be suitable for equipment such as chopping boards, butchers’ blocks, rolling pins etc providing they are maintained in a good condition……”
“Plastics are generally suitable for a wide range of purposes, but plastics vary with their resistance to heat, suitability for food contact etc.”
If FOOD STANDARDS AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND are concerned with the suitability of plastic for food contact, WHY do schools, hospitals, commercial kitchens continue to use them?
Organic Designs (AU) is an Australian owned and operated business.
Made in Australia to us means that every board we make is made in our factory based in Queensland Australia. All our timber is harvested and kiln dried in Australia. Our business is 100% Australian owned and all our workers are trained by us in Australian. We manufacture all our products to follow Australian safety and manufacturing standards.
Most importantly, our boards have been tested in Australia by a NATA approved laboratory for the effects of E.coli – Staph – Salmonella and Listeria, the results of which show ZERO growth could be detected.
