How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 17.9% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Allulose spans 224 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 0 calorie sweetener; 100% Natural Hydrator Premium Electrolyte Drink Mix Grapefruit; 5 Seed Keto Bread when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 657 of 664 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Allulose
Across the 682 products on this site that list Allulose, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Monk fruit extract shows up about 56.4x more often with Allulose than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Allulose products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monk fruit extract | 192 | 28.2% | 0.5% |
| Sucralose | 89 | 13% | 2.7% |
| Carrageenan | 32 | 4.7% | 4.5% |
| Caramel Coloring | 23 | 3.4% | 5.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 17 | 2.5% | 1.8% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-08-02.
