So, what is propyl para-hydroxybenzoate?

Propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, also known as propylparaben, is a food preservative widely used in the food industry to prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of products. It is a white crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste and a faint odor. Propylparaben is considered safe for consumption by regulatory authorities worldwide, but some studies have suggested that it may have endocrine-disrupting properties. It is commonly found in baked goods, beverages, snack foods, and other processed foods. While propylparaben is generally recognized as safe, individuals with sensitivities or allergies to this ingredient should avoid consuming foods that contain it.
