B. Bifidum
B. Bifidum appears in 90 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
B. Bifidum appears in 90 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.

- 85%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 90 products listing it (mean slot 16.0). B. Bifidum usually falls near the end of the captured list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 7.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: B. Bifidum spans 30 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with Banana Cream Pie Probiotic Coconut Yogurt; Bbq Seasoned Chicken With Bbq Ranch Dressing Chopped Salad; blended Greek nonfat yogurt when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
30 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 56 of 67 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 B. Bifidum
Across the 90 products on this site that list B. Bifidum, 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. Sucralose shows up about 2.9x more often with B. Bifidum than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of B. Bifidum products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 7 | 7.8% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 6 | 6.7% | 1.8% |
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.
