Is this food-grade mineral oil? Can it be used on a wooden (cherry) salad bowl?

Yes, I use it on mine on cutting boards and bowls and it says "wooden bowls and utensils" on the back of the bottle.

Yes - it is food safe and works on any wood. I used it to finish off several maple and walnut serving trays. I sanded to 220 and applied 3 coats of this about an hour apart wiping off the excess after about 20 minutes. They turned out beautifully.

I used this oil on a new butcher block counter top and it worked beautifully to give the surface a lovely finish. I gave it three coats as recommended and I thought the wood would become oily, but I was very pleased to see it absorb into the wood and it now has an oilless feel. I see no reason why it would not work on your cherry salad bowl. It is recommended for any unsealed wood and it is especially formulated to use in connection with food. So you can feel safe on using it for a bowl that will hold salad that you want to serve. Enjoy with confidence!

I never got this oil--the box came and it was soaked with oil--I send it back-- I had paid for 3 bottles and never ever received a refund or the oil

The simple answer is yes, it is food safe. We sell to many customers looking to finish a butcher blocks or salad bowl. It has paid for and been certified by Germany but they have not spend the $ or gone through the process to be certified by the USDA.

This is food grade cinnamon oil and is used in food. It is kind of strong and must be diluted to drink or for food. On the skin I don't know.

Yes, this is food grade oil...believe me when I say it is STRONG! LOL.... Amazing and smells so clean and light, but believe me when I say if you use too much you will know it...1 drop in an oil burner scents my entire house, from top to bottom. But, if I use say 4 to 5 drops, it is way too much and almost burns your eyes and nose it is so strong. Do not be afraid to add it to your food, you just will not need as much as if you were using say, the reallemon in a bottle (juice of a lemon) or zest of lemon. I hope this helped someone. ;)

I assume the item has been finished with mineral oil in the past. I would give it a good rub down with a fiber pad before applying the beeswax and there should be no problem. I use this for carved spoons and bowls. I have successfully applied after mineral oil using the method above.

The oil is fantastic (I even used it on my wooden utensils) and should last many washings off...don't submerge in water. But if you really want your boards to look, and feel, great be sure to purchase the Boos cream for your boards, this is the stuff I think in combination with the oil is the best for any wooden kitchen items...good luck!

I think its either water or food colored veggie oil.....but not like a thick substance......it seems like its water based

I've had this mineral oil on my butcher block for 3 weeks. It does not make it water proof. But it does make it resistant to liquid stains. I've spilled both coffee and red wine and wiped away after approx. 1 minute later and there was no stain.

No! This would leave a thick coat of plastic on your board which your knives would slice through. I doubt the makeup of this product would be food safe under any condition. There are food safe oils which you can apply to your board.

I've been having good results by using vegetable cooking oil for my kitchen knives. Additionally I rinse several times during sharpening to keep grit down. It's a cheap stone so I don't care if the oil breaks it down or anything.

It is not approved by FDA, for that type of use, so I suspect it would be toxic. Perhaps a Google search for an FDA approved wood oil

Not really sure...this is the first time I have used this oil on wood cutting board and it seems to work really well

We use it on a self standing butcher block where food is prepared. We have not used it on salad bowls but if used in moderation it should be fine as it is food grade soluble.

It is not advertised as food-grade on the bottle itself. Furthermore, it says on the bottle "not for internal use." I believe that includes eating / cooking with it. We are using it for moisturizing skin / hair only.

Don't really know. But its mineral oil-based, so I doubt it. Its meant to be absorbed into the wood, rather than removing something from the wood.

Mineral oil that's specifically made for wooden cutting boards and wooden utensils. There's a product that's a combination of beeswax and mineral oil that's fabulous. The beeswax helps fill porous or rough spots. Sand and clear coat.

I use a pure mineral oil and it works great. I've used "plant" based oils in the past but there is a danger of bacteria growth.Snow River 8-Ounce Wood Oil
