Sensitization risk Low

Recognized as a flavoring agent by the FDA and FEMA, with the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) concluding no safety concerns for its use as a flavoring agent in 2004. ECHA classifies it as harmful if swallowed, by inhalation, and in contact with skin. However, the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) specifically assessed N-furfurylpyrrole (a synonym) and found no safety concern for skin sensitization at current, declared levels of use, recommending usage up to 0.1000% in fragrance concentrates. While allergic reactions are relatively uncommon, patch testing is considered prudent.
