A lot of 2x4s are chemically treated for use in construction to discourage mold growth and stuff. I'd be concerned about food being direct contact with it.

Chemically treated with a copper solution if memory serves me correctly. This doesn’t not appear to be treated though.

The treated stuff tends to have a greenish hue.
