why would you want to put food on such an expensive piece of lumber? Anyway, mahogany can rarely cause a reaction according to this link http://www.mimf.com/archives/toxic.htm . This is what I got from another website
Red Cedar is used for barbecuing, but it really should not be used, for direct contact with foods, many are allergic to it. Birch,Linden,Maple,Alder are all used for cutting boards, and are quite safe, Maple has the added bonus in that it contains compounds that hinder bacterial growth. I would never use oak for cutting boards, in direct contact with foods it will impart its characteristic acrid taste. Note that coniferous trees, are very rarely used; White pine was used here at one time for packing butter. I am sure that some of the other pines are suitable also, but they are to soft for cutting boards. Maple is the best
