So, what is butyl phrhaly butyl glycolate?
Butyl phthalyl butyl glycolate is a synthetic ingredient commonly used in the food industry as a flavoring agent. It has a fruity, slightly floral taste and is often added to foods such as candies, chewing gum, and baked goods. This ingredient is highly concentrated and only small amounts are required to achieve the desired flavor profile. Butyl phthalyl butyl glycolate is considered safe for consumption by regulatory agencies, but individuals with sensitivities to synthetic ingredients may wish to avoid it. Overall, it is a versatile ingredient that adds a unique and pleasant flavor to many different types of food products.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
