Aluminium Sulfate
Aluminium Sulfate appears in 30 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
Aluminium Sulfate appears in 30 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 13 of 30 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Chocolate Cake Roll; Csm Bakery Products, Sliced Loaf Cake, Banana Nut; Everyday Favorites, Gold Cupcakes to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Aluminium Sulfate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
13 of 30 linked records have some flagged component
All 30 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
Aluminium Sulfate sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#7,050 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #7,050
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 171 others that also appear in exactly 30 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 61%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 30 products listing it (mean slot 22.6). Aluminium Sulfate usually falls in the lower 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 else is usually in the same product as Aluminium Sulfate
Across the 30 products on this site that list Aluminium Sulfate, 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. Polysorbate 60 shows up about 23.8x more often with Aluminium Sulfate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Aluminium Sulfate products | Share of all products |
