Typical depth in an ingredient list
80%
Averaged label depth puts Chlorophyll near the end of the captured list (80% of list length, mean slot 20.4). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

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 this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 19.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Chlorophyll spans 28 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with Avocado Herb Goddess Plant-Powered Salad Dressing, Avocado Herb Goddess; Banana and chocolate cereal bar; Bite Size Wafers With Pistachio when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.6/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

28 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 47 of 47 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 Chlorophyll

Across the 47 products on this site that list Chlorophyll, 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 29.8x more often with Chlorophyll than in the catalogue at large.
