CITRAL is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Fragrance, Perfuming, Flavouring, with CAS number 5392-40-5 and EC number 226-394-6. CosIng records a restriction against it (III/70), so check the corresponding Annex entry before formulating. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 19 product labels, reaching position 7 on Agua fresca de Bergamota. It is on the EU Annex III fragrance-allergen list (Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/1545), so labelling rules apply above the regulated thresholds.
