What it is

Propyl gallate is a synthetic antioxidant. It is made by reacting gallic acid, a compound found in plants like gallnuts, with propanol. It appears as a white or creamy-white powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add propyl gallate to foods to prevent fats and oils from spoiling, which can cause off-flavors and odors. It is often found in products containing fats and oils, such as processed meats, shortenings, and baked goods.

Health notes

In the U.S., propyl gallate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an antioxidant. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated it. Some studies have raised questions about potential effects, but regulatory bodies consider it safe at typical levels of consumption.

Allergen info

Propyl gallate is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
