In plain language

A solvent and flavouring carrier used in very limited food applications — authorised in just one food category, which signals it's a niche industrial ingredient. It's a synthetic ester of glycerol and acetic acid, closely related to common food components. Generally considered safe at the low levels used in food, with no major controversies flagged by EFSA or FDA.
