What it is

Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid that absorbs water. It's made from petroleum products through a chemical process. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use propylene glycol 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 don't normally mix, like oil and water. You'll find it in baked goods, popcorn, and confectionery.

Health notes

The FDA considers propylene glycol GRAS for use in food. It is generally recognized as safe when used as intended. JECFA has evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. Some people may experience mild side effects like nausea or diarrhea if they consume very large amounts, but this is uncommon with typical food consumption.

Allergen info

Propylene glycol is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
