Safety Profile
Myrtenyl Formate is recognized as a FEMA GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) flavoring substance by the FDA (FEMA Number: 3405). The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) evaluated it in 2002, stating 'No safety concern at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent'. It is recommended for usage levels up to 5.0000% in fragrance concentrates.
