Expert Verdict

JECFA evaluation provides oral safety data for food flavoring use. Glycosylation reduces reactivity compared to parent myricetin, providing better safety profile than aglycone myricetin due to lower bioavailability and reduced pro-oxidant potential. Formal dermal toxicity data remains limited.
