Beta - Carotene
Beta - Carotene appears in 19 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
Beta - Carotene appears in 19 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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 5 of 19 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Chipotle; Color Garden, Pure Natural Food Colors, Orange; Croissants to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Beta - Carotene itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
5 of 19 linked records have some flagged component
All 19 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.
Beta - Carotene: top-decile catalog footprint (#9,730 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #9,730
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 368 others that also appear in exactly 19 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 77%
- Averaged label depth puts Beta - Carotene near the end of the captured list (77% of list length, mean slot 19.6). 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.
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.

Beta - Carotene — common follow-ups
Does Beta - Carotene carry its own safety label in this catalog? ▼
This is a mixed neighborhood: some linked products carry a separate flag while others do not. This snapshot does not attach a standalone FDA/CSPI verdict to Beta - Carotene. Compare like-for-like products before treating the average screening score as an ingredient verdict.
Which product shelves show up most often with Beta - Carotene? ▼
Beta - Carotene ranks in the top decile by product count (#9,730 of 247,206), appearing in 19 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Beta - Carotene so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Beta - Carotene appears in 19 products (#9,730 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
