Contain Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid made from plant oils, such as soybean, coconut, or palm oil. It is a type of alcohol that is sweet-tasting and can hold water. It is produced through a process called hydrolysis, where fats and oils are broken down.

Manufacturers use vegetable glycerin as a humectant, which means it helps retain moisture and prevents foods from drying out. It also acts as a sweetener and solvent for flavors and colors. You can find it in baked goods, candies, frostings, and processed cereal products.

Vegetable glycerin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is metabolized differently than alcohol and does not produce intoxicating effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
