Is this food safe? Could it be used on a cutting board?

No! This would leave a thick coat of plastic on your board which your knives would slice through. I doubt the makeup of this product would be food safe under any condition. There are food safe oils which you can apply to your board.

The surface is completely non-porous so bacteria etc cannot penetrate into the board. I don't know if there is an antimicrobal agent impregnated into the surface. I do not think so and would not want that in a cutting board any way. The main problem with this board is that it is very slippery and light in weight so it slides on our counter top too much and we need to have a piece of paper towel under it.

Your question is somewhat confusing. "Food safe" implies that it can be *consumed* without health concerns. Of course this product should not be consumed or come in direct contact with food or food preparation surfaces. But on the other hand, it can of course be used "near" food and food prep areas without taking extra precautions to avoid fumes, etc., which is presumably what the other people who responded to your question meant when they said "yes", since the gist of your question was whether it can be used in food storage areas.

Even though the surface of the table is referred to as 'butcher block' I would not recommend cutting meat, fish, chicken or veggies on that surface. You may place a separate butting board on the butcher block surface. I suggest this primarily for health reasons because sharp knives can imbed microscopic bits of food and you may not be able to completely remove that residue. By using the separate cutting board you will preserve the beautiful surface. The table expands your food prep area beautifully in more ways than one. Enjoy.

It's not at all difficult to clean, but bear in mind this is actually a pastry board. I use mine as a cutting board, but I'm starting to see pits in the surface. For the most part, you can just rinse it & stick it in the dishwasher. If the surface gets beat up, those areas may need some extra attention. I actually think its size is better suited to food prep, but as a pastry board it's a little small. I intended to use it for food prep, so I'm happy with it.

While I believe that it is safe for the microwave, the food will stain the white surface. I always heat the food in a pan or a glass bowl and then serve it on the plate.

I would not think so but I gave it to our son. Our family could not use a cutting board since my husband's transplant. The product was excellent!!!! Really moisturizers the wood well!!

It's not really a cutting board... Good for serving but using it for cutting will probably wear it out quicker.

I wouldn't recommend it. They have a fiber on the inside and I think if it is cut it would fray and possibly get on food.

It makes a great cutting board, I made my wife a cabinet with cutting board with it. It also has a food grade finish on it.

It is used on cutting boards, so it is food-safe. It may darken the wood slightly, but it will bring out the grain of the wood for sure, and make the wood more beautiful!

it is about an inch thick, and it is not wood, it is laminate. I would not use it as a cutting board, it is essentially pressboard.

I use mine for my homemade cleaning products. The best thing would be to check the details in the product description. If it doesn't say that it is food safe, then I would assume it is not.

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'm not really sure as I keep mine in the cupboard. I would guess that it would be ok since it is airtight, but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Since it's not designed for heat or food applications, I wouldn't risk it. I don't know if it would withstand high termperaturs or whether it's coated with any chemicals that might be dangerous at high temperatures.

I've only used it on the wood grates at the bottom so it is never near food. Here has never been an order. So I could only guess how close to a food prep area was safe. I don't think this is much help but wit is how I've used it
