Is this product safe for food surfaces (e.g. is it what should be used on cutting boards)?

I don't know. What I found on the internet was mixed, some say it is safe, others warn against using it, and one said it's from a nut tree, so there is the nut allergen consideration.

I'm not an expert, but I would say definitely not. This is to be used on furniture. It did a wonderful job in refinishing our teak dining room table. It is definitely not something you want to ingest. When I have applied oil to cutting boards, I have used edible oils - vegetable oil.

I have always used mineral oil for food surfaces like cutting boards. Not tung oil. I use tung oil for furniture and for stocks.

Yes, it's safe to use on cutting boards or butcher block counter tops. I actually have a butcher block from Ikea and I've been using this product ever since. It's great and doesn't leave a funky smell. I can cut my veggies and fruits right on the counter top.

The manufacturer, Totally Bamboo, claims their cutting boards are formaldehyde-free: "We had a chemist develop a high grade, non-toxic formaldehyde free food grade glue which we use exclusively on our cutting boards." See "Adhesives" near the bottom of this page on their website: http://www.totallybamboo.com/c54/.htm

Yes - it is food safe and works on any wood. I used it to finish off several maple and walnut serving trays. I sanded to 220 and applied 3 coats of this about an hour apart wiping off the excess after about 20 minutes. They turned out beautifully.

Yes, I have used it on non-stick surfaces, but don't scrub with anything that will scratch the surface.

I'm not completely sure but this is for controlling board checking. I would not think one would use this for a food application. Try a butcher block sealer that is FDA

I only use this on my wood furniture to keep it in good condition. I have not used it for food splatters or grease.

I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but common sense tells me - absolutely not! Sniff the stuff. Read the label. Would you drink it? It should not be used on any surface that will come into contact with food. A wooden mug? Try vegetable oil of some kind.

This for putting oil back into cutting boards. I would not use it to clean anything.

That is a question best supplied by the manufacturer. I was under the impression that the cutting board was totally safe. What do they say? Antimicrobial is a material, in this case, that resists bacterial buildup. How they achieve this quality is again a question best directed to the maker of this product. Go for it! If you are as conscientious about what you are putting into your body as you are about the surface upon which you prepare your food you will be no doubt quite healthy.

I am sure it is safe to use on a humidifier since it is safe for food equipment. However there maybe a more effective cheaper descaling product out there since any residue left does not have to be food safe.

I like to season my wooden boards with an oil before they are used, and occasionally thereafter. The product that I use is Butcher Block Conditioner made by Howard. It is a food grade mineral oil with natural waxes. It can be purchased at Home Depot. Before I found this product, I would just use mineral oil. It is food safe and has no odor and does not become rancid. A light coating with a soft rag is all it takes. (I follow the directions on the back of Howard's container).

Hey Eileen- I'm not sure exactly which aspect of 'safe' you're looking for but i baked a plate that i had drawn on with an oil based sharpie- the only issue i had was that the deaign came out kind of speckled but since it was uniform throughout the design it was kinda cool, i haven't tried it again to see if it was a fluke or not- i've read that using the oil sharpies then baking makes the plates food & dishwasher safe- i don't know how true that is, but i've read it several places. I found your question because i'm making wine glasses tomorrow- some places say bake them & one said the heat will cause it to break-- i guess i'll find out tomorrow!! I hope this helped!

Yes, it is safe, just make sure it is not around food and people do not have contact with it.

I would not use this on anything touching food it is not approved for that use

I cannot say for sure but I only use it on surfaces that don't come in contact with food.

My question is what kind of food residue, how long has the residue been on and what is the item the residue is on. I found it to polish my kitchen appliances, but can not provide the answer to your question.

The product is recommended for appliances, countertops, ranges, backslashes, etc. While it would almost certainly clean flatware, the product is hazardous if swallowed, and you'd have to make sure to remove ALL residue (down to the molecular level) to be safe. I would not feel comfortable with that kind of responsibility, and therefore would recommend using something designed to on eating utensils for flatware. For the recommended purposes, though, this product is the best there is. It does a phenomenal job cleaning my range, fridge, oven, and microwave - even on stains that I was unable to remove with many other cleaners!
