Safety Profile
RIFM's safety assessment indicates it does not present a safety concern for skin sensitization at current declared levels of use and is not expected to be genotoxic. Although repeated dose toxicity data is insufficient, systemic exposure is considered to be below the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for a Cramer Class I material. It is listed by the FDA as a flavoring agent, and GHS classification states it does not meet hazard criteria.
