Propylparaben
Score
22
A preservative the EU removed from its permitted food-additive list over endocrine concerns.
EFSA was unable to set an acceptable daily intake for propylparaben in food and the EU withdrew its authorization; it remains permitted in the United States. The concern is endocrine activity at doses relevant to real intake.
