WARNING: This product may contain compounds that may be hazardous to your health. There is no FDA approved flavoring for inhalation.
We do not add Diacetyl or Acetyl Propionyl (a/k/a 2,3-pentanedione) to any of our products, but diacetyl and/or acetyl propionyl may naturally occur in the flavor extraction process in some of our products. Acetoin is used in the compounding of some of our products.
The inhalation of flavoring may expose you to hazardous chemicals, toxins, and nanoparticles, including diacetyl, acetyl propionyl and/or acetoin, which have been associated with permanent lung injury and disease, including bronchiolitis obliterans, a disease characterized by inflammation and scarring of the small airways of the lungs, which leads to severe and disabling shortness of breath. Exposure to the aerosol can trigger, aggravate, and exacerbate various adverse health effects including but not limited to cancer, carcinoma, addiction, birth defects, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, liver and kidney disease, abnormal conditions, disorders, symptoms, and illness of the human body.

Acetoin, Acetyl Propionyl & Diacetyl
(updated 4/12/2017)
We do not add Diacetyl or Acetyl Propionyl (also known as 2,3-pentanedione) to our flavors. However, there is naturally occurring diacetyl in some of our products based upon the natural chemistry and flavor extraction process. Acetoin is used in compounding some of our flavors.
Inhalation of diacetyl, acetyl propionyl and/or acetoin has been linked to damage to the respiratory tract and lungs, including the lung disease bronchiolitis obliterans. Exposure could result in irritation and damage to the eyes, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract, and could cause permanent lung damage.
