Antifreeze in our Food?!

I was looking at the ingredients list of salad dressings, trying to find one with as much natural ingredients as possible. When I started noticing that Kraft salad dressings had propylene glycol listed as an ingredient. I was sure that was something I didn't want in my food, even though I didn't know exactly what it was. So I passed on that brand altogether and ended up buying one made by Newman's Own.

Later I was in the garage straightening things up and noticed a bottle of antifreeze. For some reason I picked it up and looked at it. It said "active ingredient: propylene glycol".

So what the hell is that doing in Kraft salad dressings? And I've since heard it's also in some ice creams & candies (which I don't eat, so wouldn't have noticed if someone didn't tell me about it).
