IKEA sells this wood treatment for its kitchen butcher block.
IKEA tells me it’s approved for use on surfaces that come in contact with food.

not to geek out on you too much but, yeah varnishes and other surface treatments can be highly volatile in their liquid state.
Heres the thing, the thing that makes them suseptable to spontaneous combustion(a much more Dick Cheney-esque way of saying it has a very low flash point(see: temp at which it bursts into flames, paper being famously 451degrees fahrenheit)) is the amount and type of thinner or solvent in them. all is well once those agents evaporate away. So bestill your worried mind, you can still lick the left over coke off your newly varnished coffee table after the Thai Lady Boys leave!
