I am planning to build an outdoor planter box to grow vegetables. If I treat the redwood with Copper Green will the vegetables be safe to eat?

    I would not use any wood coating or treatment that I would not be willing to drink.

No. Here's the msds sheet: MSDS

Among other things, the sheet says:

Product Restrictions: Do not use on any material other than wood. Should not be applied to food or feed surfaces. FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY (See approved label on product) Wood treated with Copper Naphthenate must not be used in construction of beehives.
