I e-mailed the company about it and here's the reply I got... ------------------------------------------------------------ Hello Alan, Thank you for your inquiry. We take great pride in offering the highest quality available. All our oils are 100% pure therapeutic grade oils. They are accepted to be used by naturopaths, aromatherapists and natural practitioners. We have chosen to not add any bases, carriers, parafins, additives, etc to any of our oils. No pesticides, synthetic chemicals, herbicides, gmos, harmful chemicals or natural fertilizers are ever used during any stage of the growing or distillation process. All USDA food/product safety guidelines are strictly followed by our suppliers. This is very important to us and something we do not compromise on. The internal use question is one we get quite often. Because many people use essential oils for self-medication and we are not licensed aromatherapists, we have to be very careful with the freedom given people in this respect. We do not know what medications, quantities and allergies people may have. We put "for external use" on our labeling for our own liability. This is very common practice in the US and many other companies that sell therapeutic grade oils, also put this on their labeling. Essential oils are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists that does not recommend ingestion of essential oils unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy. That being said, many of our loyal customers use our oils internally since they are the highest quality available, but we leave this up to the customer. We hope this information helped you, please let us know if you have further questions or comments. All our best, Edens Garden www.edensgarden.com ------------------------------------------------------------ I hope that helps!

These are high quality oils from a great company. I'd use the oils to flavor natural tooth paste (something im spitting out ) but not to cook with and eat. You're better off getting dry lavender flowers and grinding them in a coffee grinder for baking or tea and a tiny bit goes a long way.

I am not certain that lavender therapeutic is food safe. The best way to answer this question is to email the company. I have found they are helpful in answering questions.

Most essential oils should NOT be ingested. When cooking or baking, use extracts, not oils. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and "natural" does not mean safe. You can cause severe issues when ingesting essential oils. There are a couple mlm essential oil companies that advocate ingestion, but this is HIGHLY frowned upon in the world of certified aromatherapists. In fact, it causes quite a bit of aggravation. Please please please seek the advice of a CERTIFIED aromatherapist, not a distributor of a mlm essential oil company. Ingestion can be very dangerous.

Yes they are, they are dishwasher safe. I have made hot chocolate and boiled the water over when I microwaved it. Don't put hot and then cold in it, it will crack.

I don't know whether this is food grade or not, but I have been using it in food for a long time. You only need a drop for a drink of iced tea or if you are making icing. A tiny bit goes a long way. I have used the brand put out by Nichols Nursery which I believe is a food item. I assumed they were the same thing, so I never thought to look and see.

I've used them in baking and it turned out fine. It's pretty much all they're good for. I didn't think my baked good tasted any different.

I would see no reason why they could not be used for food.....good quality waxed paper...they are really nice.

I use them in tea, they are dried buds and pieces of petals. Haven't tried in other edible recipes, but the seller lists them as "Food Grade".

They seem to be clean. Honestly, it did not occur to me to wash them because of their appearance but I did use them primarily for baking. I'll try them in water for a change of pace so thank you for that tip!

I haven't used it for cooking or baking but my daughter has. She said it works fine. I use it mainly in beverages.

I have never used it for this, but I think it would be fine. You can put them in the oven.

I have been using them for decorative purposes only on cookies. I've not put them in the oven. It doesn't say on the jar. Don't think I've been much help.

Nothing specifies that they are "food grade." However, they arrive with each one sealed shut. I use them mainly to carry pills around and use them to store my earrings jewelry. Find that they work well.

Yes you can. Mine are stamped on the bottom that they are oven safe. I have not tried them in the oven yet.

At lower temperatures, probably, however, they are shot glass size, which is only about 1.5 ozs. I'm not sure that's enough for baking anything. Marie

Yes they are fine for hot foods, gravy, pudding and are microwavable I melt chocolate in them all the time.

I'm sorry. I really don't know. I just use them for mixing and not for cooking.

Yes, they won't shatter and they're glass not plastic so no weird chemicals. I wouldn't recommend handling them too much while they're full of hot liquid or using them to serve hot liquid as they're not insulated at all and the sides get very hot. Typically I just fill mine with hot water and tea and the stick them directly in the fridge to make iced tea.
