Apple Juice
Apple Juice appears in 1,596 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
Apple Juice appears in 1,596 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.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 1,602 products listing it (mean slot 5.0). Apple Juice usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.
How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 12.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Apple Juice spans 507 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 100% Apple Cider; 100% apple cider; 100% apple juice when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 95.9/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
507 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 957 of 1486 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 Apple Juice
Across the 1,596 products on this site that list Apple Juice, 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.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Apple Juice products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 65 | 4.1% | 5.4% |
| Yellow 5 | 49 | 3.1% | 4.8% |
| Carrageenan | 44 | 2.8% | 4.5% |
| Caramel Coloring | 41 | 2.6% | 5.7% |
| Blue 1 | 37 | 2.3% | 4.2% |
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, 2026-09-01.
