Carp
Carp appears in 29 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
Carp appears in 29 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
65.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Carp as the trigger. Open records such as All Natural Gefilte Fish; Fish Bits; Fishlets In Liquid Broth and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 96.7/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 8% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
65.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 27 of 29 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.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 29 products listing it (mean slot 2.0). Carp usually falls near the top of the captured 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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Carp sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
65.5% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Carp is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Carp? ▼

Why is Carp so common on ingredient lists? ▼
