Caffeine Anhydrous
Caffeine Anhydrous appears in 125 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
Caffeine Anhydrous appears in 125 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
Audit the co-occurring flags first
88.8% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Caffeine Anhydrous as the trigger. Open records such as Arctic Snow Cone Energy Drink; Bang Peach Mango; Bareknuckle Punch Energy and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 78.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 42% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
88.8% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 116 of 116 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

- Usage rank
- #2,692
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 22 others that also appear in exactly 125 products, listed in more products than 98.9% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 42%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 125 products listing it (mean slot 9.6). Caffeine Anhydrous usually falls in the upper 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 else is usually in the same product as Caffeine Anhydrous
Across the 125 products on this site that list Caffeine Anhydrous, 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 32x more often with Caffeine Anhydrous than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Caffeine Anhydrous products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 108 | 86.4% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 64 | 51.2% | 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.
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.

Caffeine Anhydrous — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Caffeine Anhydrous sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
88.8% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Caffeine Anhydrous is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Caffeine Anhydrous? ▼
Caffeine Anhydrous ranks in the top decile by product count (#2,692 of 247,206), appearing in 125 indexed products led by Dietary supplements. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Caffeine Anhydrous so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Caffeine Anhydrous appears in 125 products (#2,692 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
