Carrot Extract

Carrot Extract appears in 111 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

Carrot Extract appears in 111 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

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 26 of 111 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 100% Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta; 8" double layer lemon cake; Almond dream, non-dairy dessert, strawberry to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Carrot Extract itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Meals supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

26 of 111 linked records have some flagged component

All 110 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 111 products listing it (mean slot 23.5). Carrot Extract usually falls near the end 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Carrot Extract
