Even oils with metallic driers?

I don't recall the place I read it, but it was some government thing (and
you know you can trust them) that once cured, any finishes are considered
food safe. I'm not a chemist so I can't tell you what happens to the
driers. They are catalyst and evaporate to my limited knowledge.

The driers become part of the great indigestible polymer called finish. If
the finish is intact chemically, they're unavailable.

The reference is 21CFR175.300 indirect additives to food.
