A cutting board is more than a kitchen accessory; it’s a high-compliance food contact product. We help B2B importers source Wood, Bamboo, and Plastic (HDPE/PP) cutting boards from verified Chinese manufacturers. We manage the risks of cracking, molding, and chemical safety, so you can focus on building your brand.
The Real Challenges in Cutting Board Procurement
Sourcing cutting boards in China involves navigating complex material and production issues. For B2B buyers, the real risks are:
- Moisture Content Issues: If wood or bamboo isn’t dried properly to the correct percentage (8%-12%), the boards will warp or crack when they reach drier climates in the US or Europe.
- Glue & Resin Safety: Many low-cost bamboo boards use adhesives containing high levels of Formaldehyde. Ensuring LFGB or FDA compliance is non-negotiable.
- Molding Risks: Poor storage and inadequate anti-fungal treatment during production can lead to mold growth during long sea transit.
- Microplastic/BPA Issues: For plastic boards, verifying the use of virgin, food-grade resins instead of recycled scraps is critical for safety.
HSY Sourcing monitors these variables at the source to prevent costly recalls and brand damage.

- End-Grain Butcher Blocks: Professional, heavy-duty blocks for the high-end culinary market.
Our Professional Inspection Protocol
We treat cutting boards as engineering products. Our QC includes:
- Moisture Content Testing: We use professional moisture meters to check multiple points on the boards to ensure they meet your destination market’s climate requirements.
- Bonding Strength Test: For laminated boards, we perform soak-and-dry cycles to ensure the glue won’t fail and the layers won’t separate.
- Flatness & Symmetry Check: Ensuring no wobbling or warping on flat surfaces (Tolerance < 1mm).
- Material Safety Verification: Verifying the factory’s FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certificates and arranging lab tests for Formaldehyde and BPA levels.
- Surface Finish Audit: Checking for splinters, rough edges, or uneven oil/wax coatings.
