Caramine
Caramine 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
Caramine 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.

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.
Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Caramine as the trigger. Open records such as Chocolate Covered Fruit; Chunkey Mixed Fruit; Yocrunch, yopa!, greek nonfat yogurt with 9 whole grain granola, blueberries and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 83.3/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 52% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% 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.

- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 52%
- Averaged label depth puts Caramine in the lower half of the list (52% of list length, mean slot 15.3). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Caramine sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
100% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Caramine is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Where does Caramine show up across the catalog? ▼
Caramine sits above the median for catalog prevalence (3 products, #35,091 of 247,206) across 3 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
