(en) EMEA Working party on herbal medicinal products - Final position paper on the use of herbal medicinal products containing estragole. Londen, 3 maart 2004. EMEA/HMPWP/338/03. Volgens dit document bevat oregano (volledige plant) tussen 96 en 550 ppm estragol. Een van de conclusies uit dit rapport luidt dat de consumptie van estragol via de toepassing van medicinale kruiden (kortdurend gebruik in de aanbevolen doseringen) geen significant kankerrisico met zich meebrengt.
