2-methylpyrazine
2-methylpyrazine carries a source-backed screening score of 3/5 and appears in 1 indexed US food products.
Source-backed answer
2-methylpyrazine appears in 1 catalogued products. CSPI has no rating attached in this snapshot. Its FDA SAFFA status is “Listed.” Those source labels describe the ingredient; they do not establish whether a particular product, dose, allergy, or diet is safe.

What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify 2-methylpyrazine as the trigger. Open records such as Hapi snacks, sriracha peas, spicy, chili garlic coated green peas and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 50.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 54% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 1 of 1 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when 2-methylpyrazine sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
100% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming 2-methylpyrazine is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, 2-methylpyrazine scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "Listed". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Where does 2-methylpyrazine show up across the catalog? ▼
2-methylpyrazine sits above the median for catalog prevalence (1 products, #71,300 of 247,206) across 1 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
What function does 2-methylpyrazine serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
2-methylpyrazine is recorded as a flavoring agent or adjuvant in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
