Food-Safe Finish

[EIEIO]

FYI - Here' the response from Howard's about Feed-N-Wax:
Hello Ray,

Although the Feed-N-Wax is made from some natural ingredients, like beeswax.  It also has a solvent in it that is not food grade.  Feed-N-Wax would need to be mixed and poured on a sanitary/clean machine and mix tank?it is not.  The good news is, we do make a product very similar to Feed-N-Wax that is food grade.  It is called Howard Butcher Block Conditioner.  It contains food grade mineral oil and beeswax?mixed and poured in a sanitary environment to ensure quality.  Please review Butcher Block Conditioner on our website,   www.howardproducts.com   The conditioner is available at the Home Depot and many other retail outlets.  If you cannot find one near you.  Call us and ask one of the girls where it is sold in your zip code area.
I hope this helps.
Eric

I've seen that Butcher Block product listed from Amazon Prime.

I have a friend that turns bowls and this is all he uses.

Folks,
All finishes, designed as a finish in North Americia are food safe once fully cured.
Things like Feed and wax, lemon oil and orange oil are not designed as a finish. These products are designed for cleaning and or polishing wood. As long as it is designed as a finish, it is food safe. Check the label for the curing duration.

I never have a problem with you repeating that, we have new friends all the time that are unaware, thanks.
