B6
B6 appears in 328 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
B6 appears in 328 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.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 118 of 328 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare acai blueberry pomegranate nutrient enhanced water beverage; Ades soya sabor natural; Amazonia, Coconut Water + Green Tea to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to B6 itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
118 of 328 linked records have some flagged component
All 323 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.

What else is usually in the same product as B6
Across the 328 products on this site that list B6, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
