Beet Sugar
Beet Sugar appears in 127 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
Beet Sugar appears in 127 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.
Beet Sugar: top-decile catalog footprint (#2,653 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #2,653
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 20 others that also appear in exactly 127 products, listed in more products than 98.9% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 30%
- Averaged label depth puts Beet Sugar in the upper half of the list (30% of list length, mean slot 6.3). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 6.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Beet Sugar spans 47 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 60% Dark Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs; Barry's Bakery, French Twists, Original; Bean salsa, cranberry & black when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
47 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 102 of 121 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.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
