Caffene appears in 3 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
Caffene appears in 3 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
Audit the co-occurring flags first
66.7% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Caffene as the trigger. Open records such as Cherry cola zero; Monster- White Can; Mountain lighting and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 76.7/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 60% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
66.7% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 3 of 3 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.

Caffene — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Caffene sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
66.7% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Caffene is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Where does Caffene show up across the catalog? ▼
Caffene sits above the median for catalog prevalence (3 products, #35,091 of 247,206) across 2 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
Why is Caffene so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The current source record does not specify a technical effect for Caffene. Its in the lower half of the list and product examples are shown without guessing why manufacturers include it.
