Abstract: The apparatus according to the present invention relates generally to a cutting board that can be used during food preparation. In particular the present invention relates to multi-layered cutting boards which are used for the preparation of food that are constructed to prevent bacterial contamination build-up between each stacked cutting layer of the cutting board. Prevention of bacterial contamination is achieved by sealing the perimeter surface of the cutting board using any method of sealing such as laser, heat and chemical processes. Sealing advantageously eliminates seams, crevices and gaps that naturally occur between stacked layers of the cutting board.
