Food Grade Mineral Oil 250ml

Food Grade Mineral Oil

Mineral oil is a non-toxic, non-drying product derived from petroleum that is colorless, odorless, and flavorless.
Its properties prevent water absorption, which makes food-grade mineral oil a popular choice for wooden kitchen items such as wooden spoons, bowls, and, of course, cutting boards and butcher blocks.
The key word here is food-safe, as there are types of mineral oils that are not safe for human consumption; these are often used as lubricants for machinery or found in auto or hardware stores.
