The "USP" part means pharmaceutical grade, which as Hoosier says is what you want. The PG should be labelled "Propylene Glycol, USP" (or "Propylene Glycol Ph Eur" in Europe for example). Industrial grade PG should be avoided as it's not intended for consumption and I believe it can have levels of undesirable contaminants like DEG (diethylene glycol) in it.

The VG equivalent will be labelled "Glycerin, USP". You should have a read of this thread - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/52669-pg-vg-labeling-purity-please-read.html

As Hoosier says, I also don't understand the "concentrated" label - it is not possible to concentrate PG.
