What is this chemical warning on the back of INW biscuit? I've never heard any mention of this compound.

Have a PDF safety sheet for it - https://www.fishersci.com/shop/msdsproxy?productName=AC265410050&productDescription=2-ACETYLTHIAZOLE%2C+99%25+5GR&catNo=AC26541-0050&vendorId=VN00032119&storeId=10652

Doesn't sound too nice, but then the amount that's in the liquid would be tiny. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of compounds used in flavorings that are harmful on their own and in enough quantity, but when used as a hundredth of a percent would do nothing. I'm not a chemist though, so take it as you will.

I did a quick Google search and really only saw some chemistry sites, speaking in a language I didn't get. Can anyone break this down for me? /u/abdada?

It isn't as risky as the warning sounds. It is a common bread crust aroma but used in teeny tiny amounts.

I've used it at 15-35PPM and it is kinda nice. Not destructive to flavor like 2-acetylpyrazine.

I personally have no health concerns over it unless a person knows they are sensitive.

I mean, I used to smoke a pack a day, once upon a time... I have to stop vaping when I get really sick once or twice in the winter... thats about it tho. No reactions so far to anything. Heh.

I'm guessing your referring to the bottom portion? I was actually looking at the MSDS sheets at work today and all of the TFA flavoring a have the same warning. They don't mention that compound, but they do say very close to the same thing.

I'm not completely sure about this particular compound, but thiazoles can cause or exacerbate allergic contact dermatitis. Maybe this is what they mean.

Possibly a skin irritant...Inawera is pretty good at keeping things above board with the warnings...unlike some of our American flavor companies who just say...go ahead...

It's just legal thing in Poland. Even TPA sold here needs to have these too. It doesnt mean it's harmful. Just some of components could irritate skin in contact with a lot of it. You should see warnings on INW Lime.. That scared me even more when i got it
