In plain words
The short version
Cross-linked PVP — an insoluble polyphenol-binding clarifier for beer, wine, and fruit juices.
Why it's green
It's widely considered safe at the amounts used in food, so we mark it green. The Safety section below has the details.

ADI not specified — considered safe. Not absorbed (the cross-linked form is too large to cross the gut wall). Filtered out of beverages before bottling — final product contains essentially no PVPP.
