The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has labeled rosemary extracts as 'Generally Recognized as Safe' (GRAS) for low doses, but this safety profile changes significantly depending on the form and concentration. Certain populations and specific uses require significant caution.

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, the leaves of common rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) are ideal for many culinary uses. The good news is that you can absolutely use rosemary from your garden, provided you follow a few essential guidelines for harvesting, preparation, and general safety.
