Is this lemon oil food grade and safe for use in food and beverages?
Yes. Citrus peel oils of this type are food-grade flavouring materials under China's GB 2760 food-additive standard and are recognised for food use in the main export markets.
Food-use basis
- China: GB 2760 (food additives) and GB 29938 (general standard for food flavourings).
- USA: FEMA GRAS flavouring status; reference FDA 21 CFR 182.20 for the essential-oil category.
- EU: flavouring use under Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008.
G4S supplies the COA, SDS, allergen declaration and a food-use statement with each lot. Your compliance team still confirms the exact food category and market eligibility before launch — that judgement belongs to the finished-product producer.
