Aspergillus Oryzae
Aspergillus Oryzae appears in 196 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
Aspergillus Oryzae appears in 196 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.
Aspergillus Oryzae: top-decile catalog footprint (#1,965 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #1,965
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 5 others that also appear in exactly 196 products, listed in more products than 99.2% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 60%
- Averaged label depth puts Aspergillus Oryzae in the lower half of the list (60% of list length, mean slot 17.3). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
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 14.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Aspergillus Oryzae spans 73 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 12Pc Shrimp Temp Kabuki Roll, Shrimp Temp Kabuki; Ajinomoto, bbq seasoned beef with vegetable on sticky rice; Alaskan Salmon when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.9/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
73 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 125 of 189 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 Aspergillus Oryzae
Across the 196 products on this site that list Aspergillus Oryzae, 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. Caramel Coloring shows up about 2.3x more often with Aspergillus Oryzae than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Aspergillus Oryzae products | Share of all products |

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.
