Why is there antifreeze in my kitchen?

A found poem:

coconut

icing sugar, sugar

water

propylene glycol

salt, sulphites

If I were hearing the words instead of reading them on a food label, I'd feel a pulse of pleasure over the syncopation in icing sugar, sugar (which no doubt has a name--one of those confusing poetic devices involving repeated words). The juxtaposition of sugar and water would recall high school science lab with its beakers full of mystery solutions, or maybe harken further back to the days when mothers handed their kids bottles of sugar water to shut them up. And that final line, with its soft hiss of alliteration: salt, sulphites. A sigh seeded with a suggestion: You, preserved.

Let's skip the over the sulphites and excess sugar and go straight to the propylene glycol. Why is there antifreeze in my kitchen? I only wanted to make a batch of granola. Silly me. I let another (non-label-reading) person do the shopping and this adulterated product landed in the baking drawer. I noticed the label after the fact.

Propylene glycol is the active ingredient in antifreeze and yummy products such as paint, dog food, cosmetics, brake fluid and aircraft de-icer. Which brings us back to antifreeze. Real food advocates decry this additive, and even pop culture has noticed: check out the Dr. Oz website, for example. Regulators appear to believe that propylene glycol is safe at approved levels. It's allowed in North American food processing as a stabilizer, humectant, solvent, and other uses that are difficult to imagine alongside food. The Europeans are the holdouts, as ever: the EU has not given blanket approval, but regulates the use of propylene glycol in food through a specific directive.

This link to a major manufacturer's sales literature might have, but didn't actually, answer my question: why is there antifreeze in the coconut I just used in baking? Here's a short excerpt that describes our additive precisely:

Dow PG USP/EP is a clear, colorless, practically odorless, slightly viscous, water-soluble and hygroscopic liquid. It is synthesized from hydrocarbon raw materials. 

Materials of plant or animal origin, genetically modified organisms, solvents, catalysts, additives or stabilizers are not used in the manufacturing process or added to the final product.

Anybody find a poem in this?
