If this seed is so safe for wildlife then why must we wash our hands after touching it? is it produced/grown in usa?

Washing your hands is a safety precaution because it is a natural, raw product. The bag states is is a product of the USA. Birds love it and no mess compared to regular mixed bird seed.

Can you please include a photo of the actual seed? My wild finches will take whole seed, bite it in half and spit one half on the ground.

If you go to the Amazon website, there are some pictures of the seed similar to what you will get with this product. Simply put, it’s whole seed kernels, so your finches will spit out half. There might be kernels that are sold broken, but I have not looked for such a product.

any reason people can't eat these nutritious seeds??

Check with Shafer Seed, but I think it is not sterelized, and there may be impurities mixed in with it. Not people grade if you will. Most likely not done under regulations for people consumption. The equipment which processes it is probably not okay for human food. We would not consider eating it.
