Introduction of E-liquid Flavour Application Standard of E-liquid Flavour

Introduction of E-liquid Flavour 

In March 2015, the FDA of the United States issued a new amendment to the application of E-liquid Flavour concentrates. the full text puts forward new opinions on the safety, use methods and corresponding regulatory agencies of E-liquid Flavour concentrates. 

With regard to the use of edible flavors and E-liquid Flavour concentrates, FDA has repeatedly stressed the position that "edible intake is not equal to inhalability", and their safety assessments, applications, regulatory models, and so on, should not be copied directly. 

Even if the ingredients of E-liquid Flavour concentrates are in compliance with the scope of edible flavor. 

For the electronic cigarette flavor to use the traditional edible flavor such as GRAS, FEMA and other management and classification model, FDA does not recognize. 

On the one hand, in the process of production and use of e-cigarette essence, there is indeed the idea and practice of "thinking inertia, concept equivalence" in the industry. 

If nicotine (nicotine is not counted as flavor) is not added to the e-cigarette, and the raw material used in the e-cigarette flavor is a compliant legal food additive in the traditional food industry, the product composed of these raw materials, the minimum requirement is that it must be edible, at least in the consumption of less harm to the human body or no harm. 

In the mode of use, many edible flavors are also heated after consumption, ingestion and inhalation, the same is into the human circulation, it is difficult to say that inhalation will be harmful to the body, then use the rules of edible flavors and have a certain reason. 

On the other hand, the traditional application of edible essence is "food materials to set up the stage, essence singing opera", to the e-cigarette into "essence setting up the stage, flavor singing opera", essence from subordinate status to become the dominant position. 

If according to the life experience of the general population, the flavor industry is excluded, in daily life, there are few similar products such as e-cigarettes that need to be imported and have a strong flavor. 

If you take cigarettes that have the closest function to e-cigarettes, most people can only say the word "smoke smell" and smoke e-cigarettes in the process of smoking ordinary cigarettes. Many people can tell the aroma of "rice paste, milk, fruit, mint" and so on. Flavors are also used in traditional cigarettes, which most people cannot tell. 

This can show that the amount of essence used in e-cigarettes has reached a concentration that most people can feel, and there is no relevant evaluation plan as to whether the amount of e-cigarette essence is excessive at present, judging from the amount alone. 

The rationality of continuing to use the edible flavor rules is open to question.
