What is PGPR?
PGPR is listed as an ingredient in the Peanut Butter Cup chocolate. Polyglycerol plyricinoleate (PGPR) is processed from glycerol and fatty acids such as castor bean or soybean oil.
The additive is generally used as an emulsifier that prevents water and fat from separating in a food product.
It’s also used during the production of chocolate products. PGPR improves the characteristics of chocolate in a way that improves how the product flows through the manufacturing process.
