                                The FDA banned safrole, a compound found in traditional sassafras root bark, for use in food and beverages in the 1960s due to its potential link to cancer. However, product labels confirm Pappy's sassafras tea is safrole free, addressing the primary health concern associated with historical sassafras consumption.
