I found this - it doesn't sound so bad as its a naturally occurring compund in some fish and plants - but since they are replicating it in yeast I'm sure some people may have an allergic reaction. It's also FDA approved.

DON'T FREAK OUT that it says antifreeze - read this:

Recent attempts have been made to relabel antifreeze proteins as ice structuring proteins in order to more accurately represents their function and to rid of any assumed negative relation between AFPs and automotive antifreeze, ethylene glycol. These two things are completely separate entities bearing loose similarity only in their function.
