From our city's free mulch web page:

"For example, after leaves are collected at curbside, they are treated and
offered to the public as compost. Holiday trees are sent through a wood
chipper and converted into mulch; a material perfect for flowerbeds or
other landscaping projects (note: mulch is not suitable for vegetable
gardens)."

Why is it not suitable for vegetable gardens?

They are saying that it is the tree mulch that isn't suitable. Chipped wood
from trees will cause nitrogen drawdown in a veg bed. The compost should be
fine if used in a veg bed.
