What it is

Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. It is made from petroleum products. It is nearly odorless and colorless.

Why it's used

Propylene glycol is used in many food products as a solvent for flavors and colors, and as a humectant to keep foods moist. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that normally wouldn't mix. It is found in baked goods, dairy products, and beverages.

Health notes

In the U.S., propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. It is also approved for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated propylene glycol and set an acceptable daily intake. While generally safe, very high doses can cause adverse effects, but these are not typically seen with normal food consumption.

Allergen info

Propylene glycol is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
