    I was hearing about this on the way into work this morning.
    There was one report that said, there is a slight difference in the Fireball that is sold in the US. That is why they are not recalling it here.
    Not sure how accurate that statement is.

    It's not accurate at all. The fda says that propylene glycol is gras....generally recognized as safe. Europe does not allow it in food/beverages.

    I thought propylene glycol is anti freeze....perfect ingredient for Fireball, you won't freeze if your drinking it in sub freezing conditions. 😉

    I'm in the raw material business. Propylene glycol has a lower freeze point and is pretty cheap and yes, is used in anti freeze. Water is also used in antifreeze and coolant and nothing conducts heat like water (for the price) they don't call water "radiator fluid". Propylene glycol gets used in a lot of stuff, but because it is called by its chemical name, it sounds bad. Of we called water dihydrogen oxide, people would freak out....in fact, there is a website that makes fun of how the average person not only has no idea what dihydrogen oxide is, they can get people to sign petitions to ban the use of it.
