Jatrophia Seed Glycerin Warning

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is notifying the regulated community that oils, glycerin, and proteins commonly used in the production of human and animal food, medical products, cosmetics, and other FDA-regulated products may contain toxins if they are derived from the Jatropha plant.

Suppliers and manufacturers should take steps to prevent the use of ingredients that might be intentionally, or otherwise, adulterated with Jatropha. The following practices may help suppliers and manufacturers identify the presence of Jatropha-derived ingredients:
  • Know, monitor, and audit supply chains of naturally-derived ingredients.
  • Unless the composition of ingredients has been verified and does not pose a risk, conduct comprehensive risk assessments for naturally-derived ingredients.
  • Confirm the composition of naturally-derived ingredients and conduct appropriate testing of these ingredients.

At ChemWorld, all our Glycerin USP is American Manufactured and our supply chain is safe for use.
