Why do restaurants don't usually use wooden cutting boards?

Restaurants do not use wooden cutting boards as a safety precaution (in fact, the FDA often prohibits the use of wooden boards in food establishments). This is because wood is often ridden with minute scratches and imperfections which can harbor bacteria despite cleaning. The alternative, hard plastic cutting boards, are much safer as they are easier to clean and because contaminants cannot cling to and reside within the plastic surface.
