Expert Verdict

Critical safety concerns: Cinnamaldehyde is a potent sensitizer requiring GC-MS quantification. Coumarin content can reach 1% w/w in Cassia bark โ€” must quantify and ensure Annex III compliance. Methyl eugenol if detected triggers Annex II prohibition. Hydrolysis may not reduce volatile allergen content without analytical data. Rigorous safety substantiation required.
