Why do Rv sink covers say not to used with food

We always just bought the wooden ones from Camping World.

Probably a CYA maneuver.

Where are you reading about not to use for food? Am I missing it?

Maybe the label contains lead, and should be removed before using the cutting board?

If it's a wooden cutting board, there's not much chance of the wood containing lead. I can't even think of any wood finish that might commonly contain lead besides lead paint, which (besides being obvious that there's paint) presumably wouldn't be legal to sell these days.

If the feet or other hardware is brass, the brass may contain a couple percent lead. So long as you don't cut tomatoes on the screws holding the feet on, you have nothing to worry about. The label is probably just legally required information, or lawyer suggested information, to prevent silly lawsuits...kind of like how four-fifths of everything causes cancer in California.

I've got 2 of the white vinyl ones, they don't say anything about not using them for food, makes no sense to have a cutting board That's not to be used for food.

Wood would not contain lead.
