Lemon swirl is a food preparation rather than a single food additive. Its components, such as lemon juice and sugar, are generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. The FDA regulates the safety of all food ingredients, and lemon swirl, as a composite food item, is subject to these general food safety regulations. Consumers should review the full ingredient list of specific products for details on its individual components.
