Chromium Chelate
Chromium Chelate appears in 50 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
Chromium Chelate appears in 50 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
88% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Chromium Chelate as the trigger. Open records such as ARCTIC Vibe Essential Energy; ARCTIC Vibe Sparkling Frozen Berry Edition; ASTRO VIBE SPARKLING BLUE RAZZ EDITION and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 86.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 87% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
88% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 50 of 50 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.
Chromium Chelate sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#4,971 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #4,971
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 72 others that also appear in exactly 50 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 87%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 50 products listing it (mean slot 21.6). Chromium Chelate 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Chromium Chelate
Across the 50 products on this site that list Chromium Chelate, 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. Sucralose shows up about 32.6x more often with Chromium Chelate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Chromium Chelate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 44 | 88% | 2.7% |
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.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.

Questions readers ask about Chromium Chelate
How should I read safety signals when Chromium Chelate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
88% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Chromium Chelate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
