We do not recommend using Oil Plus 2C on cutting boards or butcher blocks that will be used for cutting. 

Rubio Monocoat oil forms a molecular bond with the topmost microns of the wood. A knife can cut deeper than the product penetrates, leaving raw wood exposed and susceptible to mold and/ or bacteria growth. 

However, as our product is safe to use on wood surfaces it is acceptable to use on a charcuterie and serving boards.

Technically, this asks if the product is safe to ingest, but we understand what you're getting at.
