        Recommendation for 2−(methyl thio) ethanol fragrance usage levels up to :
         not for fragrance use.
         
        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 on the "Resources" link.
