| Description |
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a suspected contaminant of glycerin.

Glycerin may be used as a humectant, solvent, sweetener, or filler (among other uses) in dietary supplements. Sections 5.3.6 Industrial Contaminants and 7.5 Test Methods for Industrial Contaminants of NSF/ANSI 173 – Dietary Supplements need to be updated. |
