Does Propylene Glycol Ethyl Ether used in packaging material become toxic when it comes off on product with high fat content?

20 April 2018 1 4K Report

I went through the toxicity profile of PGEE and it doesn't look like to be toxic at those low levels of exposure (literature attached). However, any expert in this field can comment better.
