Good question; you'd think working with food they would wear a color that doesn't stain so easily!
According to wikipedia:
The use of white for other pieces of clothing, especially by highly visible head chefs, is intended to denote cleanliness.

Cause white doesn't show the sweat marks like darker colours and who wants to see a chef with sweat marks under his arms when eating your food.

White clothes quickly attract dirt hence in order for chefs to maintain absolute cleanliness they were made to go along with that colour.Thus they are expected to change their attire everyday in order to be hygenic.

they are meant to be hygienic, so wearing white ,will identify messes. it is also easy to bleach clean . only the whitest white can prove its purity. his snot stains may not show up on a darker sleeve.

cleanliness and also it reflects back the heat when cooking... white reflects heat, black absorbs heat..........they also wear large white hats to keep a circulation of air around their head to keep them cool.
