While methyl eugenol is permitted as a naturally occurring component in botanical extracts within specific limits, it is prohibited as a pure ingredient due to its potential for carcinogenicity.

As of February 10, 2026, Maison Jacynthe has received no reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this product in Canada.
