Cellulase
Cellulase appears in 199 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
Cellulase appears in 199 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.

- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 10 others that also appear in exactly 199 products, listed in more products than 99.2% of them.

- 75%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 199 products listing it (mean slot 34.8). Cellulase 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 12.6% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Cellulase spans 79 named brands and is led by the Dietary supplements group. Start with 100% Pure Whey With Grass Fed Whey Isolates Vanilla Cream Slice Flavour; All in one nutrition shake; ALL-IN-ONE NUTRITION SHAKE when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
79 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 198 of 198 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Cellulase
Across the 199 products on this site that list Cellulase, 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. Monk fruit extract shows up about 27.2x more often with Cellulase than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Cellulase products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monk fruit extract | 27 | 13.6% | 0.5% |
| Sucralose | 23 | 11.6% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 12 | 6% | 1.8% |
| Carrageenan | 8 | 4% | 4.5% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.
