Some people like to avoid ALL chemicals they can in their garden.
You can also just line the wood with plastic and it’s moot, but as a generic basic around the globe advice.
Dont use pallets or treated wood for crafts and stuff in your home.
CCA is banned for lumber designed for ground contact construction. Pallet wood has no restrictions. Pallets use in shipping means you don't even know what country it came from.
Stuff like telephone poles still use it I believe. At least in Canada. Railroad ties too likely.
