How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 173 of 632 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 365 everyday value, mini pizzas, three cheese; ALL BUTTER MINI CROISSANTS; All Butter Sandwich Croissants to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Amylase 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.
173 of 632 linked records have some flagged component
All 619 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Amylase
Across the 632 products on this site that list Amylase, 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. Sodium Nitrite shows up about 3.3x more often with Amylase than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Amylase products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium Nitrite | 49 | 7.8% | 2.4% |
| Caramel Coloring | 45 | 7.1% | 5.7% |
| Polysorbate 60 | 36 | 5.7% | 1.4% |
| Carrageenan | 35 | 5.5% | 4.5% |
| Polysorbate 80 | 30 | 4.7% | 1.3% |
