EPG (Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol) is a synthetic fat substitute engineered in a laboratory. It is not found in nature and is designed to mimic the mouthfeel of fat while being indigestible. Its long-term safety profile is poorly understood and it represents one of the most heavily processed ingredients in the food supply.
