So, what is proylene glycol?
Propylene glycol is a clear, odorless, and slightly sweet-tasting liquid that is commonly used as a food additive. It is often added to foods to help preserve moisture, prevent crystallization of sugar, and improve texture. Propylene glycol is also commonly used as a solvent for flavors and colors in food production. Although it is generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to propylene glycol or experience gastrointestinal discomfort if consumed in large amounts. As with any food ingredient, it is important to consume propylene glycol in moderation and according to the recommendations of health authorities.
