Question:
Hello,
I found this info on the site. Can you please clarify the rationale behind it? I see some items which indicate that they are pretreated with mineral oil which I don't believe poses a kashrus concern.
Thanks.
Am I allowed to buy a wood cutting board Or other wood bowls that says it is preoiled?

Question:
May I buy new Wood cutting boards or bowls that are pre oiled?
Answer:
You may buy them, but they should be kashered, once the surface oil is removed.

Hello,
It depends on the facts. If the wood is pretreated with an “oil” then it is possible that the oil is animal based and it poses a problem. However as you write, that if it is treated with mineral oil then it wouldn’t be an issue.
