Last week propylene glycol was the cause of a recall of a flavored whiskey in three Scandinavian countries according to a story from The Daily Meal. But it is a very common ingredient in many foods and beverages.
Propylene glycol is an organic chemical compound nobody talked much about until recently, when Fireball Cinnamon Whisky was pulled off the shelves in three Scandinavian countries for containing too much of the ingredient to meet European Union standards. The chemical is used as a solvent and as the primary ingredient in non-toxic antifreeze and as the “e-liquid” in e-cigarettes.Toxic or not, we thought you might like to know whether this solvent and antifreeze is hiding in products you eat and drink. The Daily Meal dug up seven of the most common foods and beverages that contain propylene glycol.
