Lars,
Get some bees wax and canola oil,combine the two so that when it is
cool it will be a soft solid similar to soft playdough.
Apply this very very warm to your cutting board,let soak for 3 hours
or so (longer would be fine also)than wipe/buff off.
I have been using this combo for many years now and my customers
love it.It last for 2 years and more as long as it is wiped off with a clean
damp cloth when finished using.

This old tale about not using anything other than mineral oil as
all the other oils go rancid is BS. Unless you have such a large amount of
oil that is pooling on your cutting board (does anyone really go and apply
large amounts of veggie oil so it pools and puts it away with all this
excess oil on it?) when you put it away in a wartm humid place there is no
way veggie oil is going to go rancid.

Regarding bleaching the cutting board to clean it why bother as a
study was done comparing wood cutting boards vs plastic cutting boards at
the Univ.of Wisconsin (I think it was there) food tech dept. that found wood
cutting boards were safer as when wiped clean bacteria died in the wood
while bacteria grew on the plastic cutting boards.
Merry Christmas
Jerome

I don't know about 'banning' those products, but I do see warning labels
all over the place... MAY contain peanuts, or nut products.
I am already told NOT to use my sanders in the rain, NOT to use my
toaster oven in the bath tub.
Soon, on a baseball bat, a sticker will appear: DO NOT use this to smack
