Safety
Safety Profile
The FDA recognizes Neryl Propionate as a 'FLAVOR ENHANCER, FLAVORING AGENT OR ADJUVANT' under 21 CFR 172.515. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) concluded in 1997 that its use as a flavouring agent presents 'no safety concern at current levels of intake'. Human experience with a 6% solution has shown no irritation or sensitization, with recommended usage levels in fragrance concentrates up to 10%.
