That would be "butyl glycol ether." They put it in a lot of household cleaners. It's a form of ethylene glycol. It has "low toxicity," which the FDA allows to be used in extremely small amounts as a food additive.

If you think to 2-Ethoxy-2-methyl-propane (Ethyl tert-butyl ether) the chemical formula is C6H14O.
It is harmful by inhalation and flammable. The permitted limit in air is max. 25 mg/m3.
