The team found that spraying blueberries with a 10% solution of butyl anthranilate provided nearly total protection for blueberry samples from the spotted wing Drosophila.

It found multiple instances of the FDA prohibiting an additive previously recognized as GRAS, including cinnamyl anthranilate, a synthetic flavoring agent that was linked to liver cancer in mice.
