170g

170g appears in 28 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.

What the data can answer

170g appears in 28 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
42%
Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 28 products listing it (mean slot 6.1). 170g usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 10.7% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: 170g spans 15 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with Chicken Enchilada Bowl; Chobani oat vainilla; GREEK NONFAT YOGURT PLAIN when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 92.7/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

15 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 19 of 21 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.

Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.

170g — common follow-ups

Why is there no FDA/CSPI verdict on 170g?

This snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to 170g, so PlainFoodSafe does not present a source-backed safety verdict. The page reports catalog prevalence (#7,422 of 247,206 ingredients) and label position instead.

Which product shelves show up most often with 170g?

170g ranks in the top decile by product count (#7,422 of 247,206), appearing in 28 indexed products led by Dairies. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is 170g so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet 170g appears in 28 products (#7,422 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.

Regulatory status: FDA SAFFA (170g). Safety ratings: CSPI Chemical Cuisine; product presence: Open Food Facts via PlainFoodSafe (September 2026). Figures are computed from those sources, no editor-typed counts. Methodology · State regulations.
