The ingredient can in high concentrations irritate skin and eyes. However we do require that the total concentration of irritants is low and we conduct an individual assessment of the product considering the use and the amount of the ingredient that the consumer will be exposed to. Ingredients that can irritate the skin and eyes are therefore allowed in products certified by Asthma Allergy Nordic.

The ingredient may originate from a source that is a food allergen subject to declaration. Allergic reactions to food allergens are mostly caused by proteins. Asthma Allergy Nordic requires information on the plant origin of the ingredient. Protein purification is a requirement for this ingredient if the origin is a food allergen.
