Is osmo top oil food safe?
1934746
From the PDF linked below: "Because Top Oil has not presently been submitted for FDA approval, we can't refer to it as a "food grade finish". Like OSMO products, Top Oil has been shown to be safe when dry. Therefore, we recommend Top Oil for countertops and table tops but cannot explicitly recommend Top Oil for cutting boards and other wood surfaces subject to food contact (such as wooden bowls)"

We have a wood kitchen counter top and have used Osmo on it without any problems. And the packaging says it is made from natural oils. I don't know if it is suitable for scenarios where there is sustained contact with food. Maybe a good idea to call the company if the intended use is for food containers.

We sell OSMO top oil and it is food grade. You get the same finish at OSMO hardwax #3054 but it's food safe. Available at worldclasssupply

I used beeswax as a finish over the osmo top coat and am very happy with it and confident of food safety

The simple answer is yes, it is food safe. We sell to many customers looking to finish a butcher blocks or salad bowl. It has paid for and been certified by Germany but they have not spend the $ or gone through the process to be certified by the USDA.

Yes it is per OSMO themselves. They say its a foodsafe surface, but not recommended for cutting boards since you basically break the layer. Use a natural oils without hardeners for cutting boards.

Just because the FDA calls something safe, doesn't mean it is. Like most things, essential oils are safe unless you misuse them.

Have never needed to use oil,I really like this product,it's rare any more for me to find something that works like it claims.I do not see oil doing any harm to this product.

I've Only used it for olive oil but the top is secure enough that I'm sure it could be used for any liquid with no risk of leakage. If I were to use balsamic, I probably would only fill it half way in order to rinse it out more often since balsamic tends to form deposits if left out too long

I see no reason not to do so. Using this as a solvent for pure tung oil leaves a food safe finish.

No, it is not. I received an e-mail from the makers which indicated that their oil should not be taken internally.

Who cares (Vegans can look it up)? All OSEM products are absolutely delicious. Couldn't run my kitchen without them. Family would eat out.

It is good. You'll have to wipe it clean still every now and again because if you touch it with fingers from food but oil from fingers won't be an issue. I hope this helps.

According to the label and literature when I last checked a few months ago, this oil comes from cold water ocean fish, not farmed......This is a reputable brand as well....and the price is reasonable.....drink it down with some warm water is one good way............

There is a school of thought that feels taking oils internally is not safe. If you're looking for EO that are safe to use internally, check out Spark Naturals or Native American Nutritionals. I've purchased from both and can attest to their product and their customer service. Both are outstanding. With that said, this is a nice product, but I wouldn't take it internally simply because it doesn't say it can be.

Sorry I do not have the answer to this question... all I know about this oil is that it is very harsh in nature... OK for cooking, absolutely not OK for salads or any other uncooked edible use. Used raw, this oil burns my throat.

They are farm raised in Indonesia.Very nice sized shrimp and especially for the price of 2 lbs.You would be hard pressed to find shrimp that isn't imported.The products in my local stores are imported.Doubt shrimp from the Gulf is any more safe since the spill.Poison...Really?????

The label states, "food-safe combination of mineral oil, beeswax and anti-microbial essential oils." So based on that, I'd say your answer is no.

Have been using this product for several years without any skin problems and I have very sensitive skin. Oil of Olay is one of only a few products I am able to use, so I would say yes, it is safe and reliable as far as I am concerned.

The container appears to be a metal can and no different than any other Olive Oil comes in...We are very happy with the flavor of this great Olive Oil. I could be wrong here but I believe BPA is only in Plastic. So the metal can should be free from BPA.
