What it is

Orange oil is a natural oil extracted from the peel of oranges. It is made by cold-pressing the orange peel, which releases the aromatic oils contained within. This process captures the fresh, citrus scent and flavor of the fruit.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use orange oil primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a natural orange taste to foods and beverages. It is often found in confectionery products, baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, and chocolate items. It can also be used in teas and other flavored drinks.

Health notes

In the U.S., orange oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated orange oil and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing orange oil at normal levels.

Allergen info

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