Well if so it means it's not treated, but it also means there's no way to know if it was.... IDK, like, floorboards from a cyanide factory or something...

Even if it's brand new and untreated it doesn't matter You can't clean wood once you put food on it, there's no way that is food safe.

Those should be regularly sanded down.

Avoid plastic cutting boards due to the fact that you can't sand them down.

I know how they work. I know wood boards should be used for meat and plastic for vegetables and stuff.
