treated pine and vegetables

this is my first post, Hi all - last year i made a few garden beds with treated pine intended for cut flowers and vegetables. after enjoying a rather small harvest of snow peas and pumpin it dawned on me that Arsnic may be leaching from the treated pine into the soil. I am interested on peoples thoughts - is this a problem or can i keep using the beds for vegetables??
