Choline Chloride carries a source-backed screening score of 3/5 and appears in 449 indexed US food products.
Source-backed answer
Choline Chloride appears in 449 catalogued products. CSPI has no rating attached in this snapshot. Its FDA SAFFA status is “GRAS.” Those source labels describe the ingredient; they do not establish whether a particular product, dose, allergy, or diet is safe.

What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
54.8% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Choline Chloride as the trigger. Open records such as 360 Total Care Infant Formula; A.R. Added Rice Infant Formula; A.r. Added Rice Infant Formula Milk-based Powder With Iron and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 88.2/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 51% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
54.8% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 431 of 441 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
What else is usually in the same product as Choline Chloride
Across the 449 products on this site that list Choline Chloride, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 10.9x more often with Choline Chloride than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Choline Chloride products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 221 | 49.2% | 4.5% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 105 | 23.4% | 1.8% |
| Sucralose | 87 | 19.4% | 2.7% |
| Red 3 | 44 | 9.8% | 1.1% |
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | 1.1% | 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Choline Chloride sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
54.8% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Choline Chloride is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Choline Chloride scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "GRAS". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Choline Chloride? ▼
Choline Chloride ranks in the top decile by product count (#1,109 of 247,206), appearing in 449 indexed products led by Beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
What function does Choline Chloride serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Choline Chloride is recorded as a nutrient supplement in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
