What the data can answer

Organic Black Sesame Seeds appears in 303 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 303 products listing it (mean slot 15.5). Organic Black Sesame Seeds usually falls in the lower half of the 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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 9.6% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Organic Black Sesame Seeds spans 127 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 21 Grain & Seed Bread; 21 Grains & Seeds Bread; 21 Grains & Seeds Thin Sliced Organic Bread when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

127 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 186 of 276 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.

Across the 303 products on this site that list Organic Black Sesame Seeds, 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.
