Food-Safe Finishes

What Makes a Finish Food-Safe?

Most finishes give wooden kitchenware a shiny, glossy appearance. Many finishes contain solvents used as bonding agents and should not be consumed directly, but become safe when the solvent has time to evaporate or bond with oxygen molecules.

To be considered truly food safe, a finish must cure properly, which takes much longer than drying. Curing times can vary based on type of finish and your home’s humidity and temperature levels. Curing times will also be affected by how heavily the coat of finish was applied. 

Being considered food safe does not mean a finish will work for all types of surfaces that come into contact with food. For example, a finish that forms a film isn’t suitable for cutting boards or utensils used for cooking and serving. A piece of this film could be cut away and accidentally consumed.
