Using Essential Oils in Food

Regarding the use of essential oils, such as the Mentha Piperita L. Herb Oil from the link you provided, for making food items like mint chocolate bars, it is crucial to understand the difference between cosmetic/fragrance grade and food grade ingredients.

Essential oils and aroma chemicals intended for use in cosmetics, soaps, or fragrances are generally not suitable for consumption. They may contain impurities or be manufactured under conditions that are not safe for food applications.

While a search for mint-related oils found products like Corn Mint Oil (Leaf), the same principle applies. Unless a product is explicitly labeled and certified as Food Grade, it should not be used in food or beverages.

To ensure safety, always verify the product's specifications and intended use. If you intend to use an essential oil in food, you must purchase one that is specifically manufactured and labeled as Food Grade. It is highly recommended to contact the supplier directly to confirm the food grade status if it is not clearly stated on the product page.

Therefore, the Mentha Piperita L. Herb Oil from the link, and generally essential oils found on cosmetic ingredient websites, should not be used for making edible products like chocolate unless their food grade status is explicitly confirmed by the supplier.
