This is rapidly taking over as the biggest urban myth in woodworking
(next to exploding dust collection systems).

Virtually any finish except lead paint is "food safe" once it's cured.

Couldn't agree more Lrod. Some woodturners are continuously worrying about
"foodsafe" finishes when half the damn food we buy isn't
"foodsafe".................... I'd be more concerned about putting
something sold in a McDonalds in my mouth than I would eating off a wooden
plate.
