Almond Milk

Almond Milk appears in 259 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

Almond Milk appears in 259 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.

Almond Milk sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#1,647 / 247,206)

Typical depth in an ingredient list
6%
Mean relative depth 6% across 259 parsed labels, slot 2.1 on average. Almond Milk tends to sit near the top of the captured list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.

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.

How to use this page

Use prevalence before concern

Only 10% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Almond Milk spans 69 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with Almond blend pudding; Almond Drink, Vanilla; Almond maple coffee when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.2/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

69 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 212 of 251 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 Almond Milk

Across the 259 products on this site that list Almond Milk, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 2.1x more often with Almond Milk than in the catalogue at large.
