Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name MYRISTAMIDE MEA.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

N-Myristoylethanolamine

N-(tetradecanoyl)ethanolamine is an N-(long-chain-acyl)ethanolamine resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) with the amino group of ethanolamine. It is a N-(long-chain-acyl)ethanolamine and a N-(saturated fatty acyl)ethanolamine. It is functionally related to a tetradecanoic acid. — ChEBI
