Artificial Sour Cream Flavor
Artificial Sour Cream Flavor appears in 10 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

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.

How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
90% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Artificial Sour Cream Flavor as the trigger. Open records such as Beyond Good!, Potato Chips, Cheddar; Potato Chips; Sour cream & cheddar flavored wavy potato chips, sour cream & cheddar and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 18.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 52% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
90% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 10 of 10 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
