Unless it says it's non toxic then probably not. Rodipet in Germany use birch plywood but theirs is made with non toxic glue. Most plywood isn't. Birchwood is fine, but it's the glue in plywood off gassing that can be an issue. Plain kiln dried pine is ok, although can be a bit thick. Having said that, a lot of people use Ikea Knuff magazine racks to make shelves with and that's probably plywood, but is tried and tested as ok. So maybe get some of those? What are you making?
