| - | Several solvents sometimes used in laboratory-scale algae research or in food ingredient production outside the EU — including certain chlorinated solvents, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and others (methanol has been added to the list in 2010) — are __not on the EU permitted list__ and may not legally be used in the production of food ingredients for the EU market. Industrial producers should verify the status of any solvent used in their extraction process before assuming it is compliant. | + | Several solvents sometimes used in laboratory-scale algae research or in food ingredient production outside the EU — including certain chlorinated solvents, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and others (methanol has been added to the list in 2010) — are __not on the EU permitted list__ and may not legally be used in the production of food ingredients for the EU market.
