What it is

BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and propyl gallate are synthetic antioxidants. They are produced through chemical processes.

Why it's used

These ingredients are added to foods to prevent fats and oils from becoming rancid, which helps maintain flavor and quality. They are commonly found in processed foods with higher fat content, such as baked goods, cereals, and snack foods.

Health notes

BHT and propyl gallate are approved for use as food additives in the U.S. and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Both have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some studies have raised questions about potential health effects at very high doses, though evidence is mixed and not conclusive for typical human intake.

Allergen info

BHT and propyl gallate are not derived from any of the nine major allergens and do not contain gluten.
