Chilli Powder
Chilli Powder appears in 101 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
Chilli Powder appears in 101 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.

- Usage rank

- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 15 others that also appear in exactly 101 products, listed in more products than 98.7% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 58%
- Averaged label depth puts Chilli Powder in the lower half of the list (58% of list length, mean slot 15.1). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 11.9% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Chilli Powder spans 58 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 0000 LIME PICKLE Tangy and fiery, with zesty lime; All Spice Powder; Aloo matar when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
58 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 60 of 86 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 Chilli Powder
Across the 101 products on this site that list Chilli Powder, 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 Chilli Powder products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 6 | 5.9% | 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.
