Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 363 of 825 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 100% Whole Wheat 8 Hamburger Buns; 100% Whole Wheat Bagels; 100% Whole Wheat Bread to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 30–100 score range to Calcium Peroxide itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
363 of 825 linked records have some flagged component
All 824 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 30–100 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Calcium Peroxide
Across the 825 products on this site that list Calcium Peroxide, 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. Azodicarbonamide shows up about 160.5x more often with Calcium Peroxide than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Calcium Peroxide products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azodicarbonamide | 265 | 32.1% | 0.2% |
| Caramel Coloring | 73 | 8.8% | 5.7% |
| TBHQ | 45 | 5.5% | 0.5% |
| Carrageenan | 30 | 3.6% | 4.5% |
| Potassium Iodate | 28 | 3.4% | 0.2% |
