What does it mean when the seed packet has stamped on it "Caution treated with Thiram. Do not use for food, feed or oil"?

Answer:
This means that the seeds in this particular pack should not be eaten because they have been coated with a thin slurry of fungicide. The fungicide breaks down rapidly in the soil and does not have any effect on the resulting plant. Although slightly ambiguous in wording, this form of wording is accepted by all the relevant state authorities.

Does this mean the vegetables that result from these seeds are edible?

Hi, I'm actually in the process of setting up my first veggie garden, going all out got beds n pots everywhere even given up my clothesline for the fullsun and great space, so im doing a little diary of all my stock n i cant believe i got this far without noticing each time ive read the back of pack ive not even noticed it was a caution, I just tried to read info in the background of this red stamp, I'm an idiot i've just been so excited to get it all in, the irony of the stamp is the red onion was my biggest hunt down, had a real hard time finding them. So my question is now that their planed in a row amonst other veg such as Spring Onion, Mixed Leaf Mix, Iceberg Lettus, Baby Spinach, Brocolli and Sweet Corn. Also potted along with Brown Onion .Have I spoilt all of them surrounding my red onion? Whats wrong with my onion?
