Is tuf cloth/tuf glide food safe?

I know that mineral oil is 100% safe but the tuf cloth seems to be more convenient.

Any other food safe alternatives?

I've used silicone rags for years and have yet to have any noticeable health issues. I'd recommend a patina-soak the naked metal in vinegar or paint with mustard til a solid dark matte finish appears. This will prevent any sort of flaking oxidation from forming.
 
It says on the bottle of tuff glide that there is a danger of death if ingested........I would think danger of death would equate to not food safe :p
 
The package of the Tuf-Cloth that I have right in front of me reads "The protective non-toxic shield is engineered to endure extreme use, saltwater, high humidity and long term storage."
 
i ask because from what i have seen, the tuf web pages state that its not USFDA approved for food use and I have seen packages that state its non-toxic.

its supposed to be a corrosion inhibitor but some web sources say that washing the blade before food prep use makes it OK for that task.

to me that collection of information is a bit contradictory and misleading.
 
yea, it's hard to find any solid info. try giving a shout to the Sentry Solutions customer service.
 
Around here we use coconut oil on the blades, perfect to prevent from rust and you don't need to worry before you start cutting food with it.

Can I use my TUF-CLOTH treated knife to cut food?
TUF-CLOTH's dry bonded protection is non-toxic. The
bonding reduces any transfer to food items cut. If you plan
to cut food with a TUF-CLOTH treated blade, we suggest that
you wash or wipe the blade first, and then reapply when
convenient.
