At Khush, we understand the importance of using safe and compliant ingredients in the flavouring industry. As per EU regulations, nutmeg can be used as a flavouring agent in food products if it meets the set limits for methyl eugenol and safrole, which are 10 parts per billion (ppb) and 20 parts per million (ppm) respectively, as per European Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006. However, we want to be transparent that our nutmeg oil does not meet these limits set by the European regulation for methyl eugenol and safrole.

Despite this, we still believe that our nutmeg oil is a valuable ingredient for the industry. Nutmeg oil from India tends to have lowerconcentrations of methyl eugenol and safrole compared to other sources such as Indonesia. This means that our nutmeg oil may still be a suitable ingredient for certain applications where the limits set by the European regulation are not strictly enforced.
