What it is

Lime extract is a concentrated flavoring made from the peel and/or juice of limes. It captures the tart, citrusy essence of the fruit, often using solvents or distillation to isolate the aromatic compounds.

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, and lime extract is considered safe at typical consumption levels. There are no widespread health controversies associated with its use in food.
