Notes: | |||
IFRA FLAVOR REQUIREMENTS: | |||
Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards. | |||
Fragrance ingredient restriction - Note box | |||
On the basis of established maximum concentration levels of this substance in commercially available natural sources (like essential oils and extracts), exposure to this substance from the use of these oils and extracts is not significant and the use of these oils is authorized as long as the level of Isophorone in the finished product does not exceed 0.0013%. | |||
Maximised Survey-derived Daily Intakes (MSDI-EU): | 4.60 (μg/capita/day) | ||
Maximised Survey-derived Daily Intakes (MSDI-USA): | 0.10 (μg/capita/day) | ||
Structure Class: | II | ||
Use levels for FEMA GRAS flavoring substances on which the FEMA Expert Panel based its judgments that the substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). | |||
The Expert Panel also publishes separate extensive reviews of scientific information on all FEMA GRAS flavoring substances and can be found at FEMA Flavor Ingredient Library | |||
