US Notes
Not specifically restricted by FDA. FDA acknowledges NTP study findings linking DEA (not fatty acid amides) to cancer in laboratory animals but states no current reason for consumer alarm. Industry guidance recommends avoiding nitrosating agents. CIR concluded safe as used in 1986 and 2013. Canada permits with conditions when not combined with nitrosamine-forming agents.
