Azúcar
Azúcar appears in 370 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
Azúcar appears in 370 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.

Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
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: Azúcar spans 191 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 5 cereales con frutos rojos; Abejuelas de Miel; Adobo when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 94.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
191 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 313 of 328 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 Azúcar
Across the 370 products on this site that list Azúcar, 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 Azúcar products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 19 | 5.1% | 5.4% |
| Blue 1 | 15 | 4.1% | 4.2% |
| Caramel Coloring | 15 | 4.1% | 5.7% |
| Yellow 5 | 14 | 3.8% | 4.8% |
| Yellow 6 | 13 | 3.5% | 3.4% |
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.
