Default Cutting board food safety issue

Last year, I bought some small cutting boards from a friend.
I took them home and sanded them and then used mineral spirits to clean them up.
I knew it was wrong and I've not distributed them as gifts as I intended last year.
Just wondering, how do I "fix" them to make sure that my friends and family don't get sick.
I was thinking of resending, then flooding them with mineral oil, letting them try and then doing it again.
Any hints would be helpful.

I'd say let your nose be your guide ... if you can smell any
mineral spirit odor - not good for food prep.
Sand down and use a proper finish.
