What it is

Eucalyptus oil is a concentrated liquid extracted from the leaves of eucalyptus trees, native to Australia. It is typically produced through steam distillation. The oil has a strong, camphoraceous aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Eucalyptus oil is primarily used as a flavoring agent in foods, especially in candies and throat lozenges, where its strong, cooling sensation is desired. It can also be found in some health care products like honey drops.

Health notes

In the US, eucalyptus oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is not typically consumed in large quantities. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated eucalyptus oil. At high doses, eucalyptus oil can be toxic, but typical food use levels are considered safe.

Allergen info

Eucalyptus oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
