no harmful stuff etc. As I recall it was over $10.00 but under $20.00 for a half pint(?) bottle. Turns out it was nothing more than Fantastik cleaner or at least Fantastik would do the same thing for a whole lot less. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The products that are marketed as cutting board oil also market themselves as “Food Grade Mineral Oil”. But the truth is, a $2 bottle of Walmart mineral
oil is equal to a $16 bottle of Cutting Board Oil that is pure mineral oil, correct? I mean, it has to be, because WM markets their mineral oil as a laxative. If that isn’t food grade, I don’t know what is. Am I missing something?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
