Chile Pepper
Chile Pepper appears in 165 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
Chile Pepper appears in 165 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.

- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 11 others that also appear in exactly 166 products, listed in more products than 99.1% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 49%
- Averaged label depth puts Chile Pepper in the upper half of the list (49% of list length, mean slot 13.7). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 15.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Chile Pepper spans 71 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 2 olive roasted garlic salsa; 6 - Layer Dip; Adobo Seasoned White Meat Chicken when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
71 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 126 of 157 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 Chile Pepper
Across the 165 products on this site that list Chile Pepper, 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.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Chile Pepper products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 8 | 4.8% | 4.5% |
| Caramel Coloring | 7 | 4.2% | 5.7% |
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.
